It's kind of funny just how much complaining about AI hype and bad coverage there is (on Twitter, and on this very subreddit), it feels like there is more of that now than actually bad coverage. This article suggests some actions to take at the very bottom, which amount to including some discussion of the limitations of the work in the paper -- not a bad idea, but then again the misleading coverage usually does not stem from claims in the papers themselves in the first place.

Shameless but relevant plug warning, I run this effort Skynet Today with the aim to let AI researchers/experts present various advancements/topics to a general audience without hype and with context. Everyone on the team is volunteering their time for free and we can always use more people to help us tackle various subjects, so if you care about this issue feel free to take a look here: https://www.skynettoday.com/contribute

Skynet Today is very good. I wish you had more original articles because the ones you have, I enjoy a lot (your editorials and briefs). I see you are calling for contributions, I hope you get some good ones.

Writing good articles- there's no other way to combat bad coverage. Keep it up please and all the best.
