Welcome back and we now have a hazy day with heat becoming a bit oppressive. I've just been reviewing the UK news with journalist Graham Smith and I have my question for the chat bot. 'Why has the British Media seemingly lost it's ability to prioritise news over gossip?'

Microsoft Answer

The British media hasn’t lost its ability to prioritise news over gossip — it has been pushed away from news and toward gossip by structural, economic, and cultural pressures that have intensified over the last decade. The result is a system where sensationalism is rewarded, public‑interest journalism is punished, and gossip becomes the cheapest, fastest way to survive...........

The core problem

British media hasn’t lost its ability to prioritise news — it has lost the incentives to do so.

The system now rewards:

speed over accuracy

outrage over substance

personality over policy

gossip over governance

And it punishes:

investigative depth

slow verification

public‑interest reporting

challenging powerful institutions

Let's see how two humans reviewed today's UK media information

A very good morning from clear blue skies and many things to be grateful for on this part of the Costa Blanca. The cat is a bit irritating because he suddenly decided he doesn't want the food I've given him but maybe it's because he's a Persian cat! Not to worry , I had a podcast to create with former teacher Matt King. Today we would be discussing the concept of Beauty. My thoughts and prayers stay with the focus on world peace.

Let's see how Microsoft define Beauty via the chat bot,

' Beauty is a culturally shaped, psychologically mediated, and philosophically debated experience in which certain qualities—such as harmony, proportion, expression, or meaning—evoke pleasure, admiration, or emotional resonance. It is neither purely in the object nor purely in the mind, but in the relationship between the two, shaped by biology, culture, and personal history.

Well, this should be interesting to see how two human beings discuss this concept..
