I was disappointed to see that PopSci simply regurgitated many of the talkings points from NewsGuard's recent press releases where it once again appoints itself as the arbiter of truth and this time to capture on the hot media item of the day- ChatGPT. If PopSci was doing some of it's own research or even critical thinking here, it would realize that Microsoft owns half of OpenAI (the company that built Chat-GPT) and simultaneously licenses NewsGuard's so-called media trust ratings. So by that logic, either NewsGuard's data doesn't comply with AI models, wasn't useful to OpenAI, or Microsoft was never truly interested in applying NewsGuard's ratings in the first place. These are the questions that the journalist should be asking, along with why NewsGuard's interpretation of facts/credibility have merit.
