Frankly, I doubt it :-)

In my opinion, a better news service should use some reasoning. You don't need a LLM: you can, for example, use the results of several web searches and exclude common elements, since they likely come from the same source. The remaining information is new and interesting; you should favor the source with the most substantiated content, because the journalists at that source have done good job.

You could also discover interesting facts: if A is associated with B, and C is associated with B, but A is not associated with C, there must be a link between A and C that deserves to be explored.

No need for AI for that; simple access to a search engine is enough. I did something similar 20 years ago.
