If it's using an LLM it'll make stuff up... about people and sex trafficking.

It links to the original documents released by the DOJ.

Also, just like LLMs hallucinate and it's up to the person to decide to commit the code into the repo (and they should be held accountable to that), the same applies to people who use this tool to release fake news.

Of course, we try to apply as many "ground-truthing" techniques as possible.

Journalists of all kinds are using Jmail already for their professional work and we are in touch with them when they give us feedback. For example, we've redacted victim's names that we would've not known except for the work of tons of volunteers and journalists—and yes, this was NOT redacted by the DOJ and should have.

But ofc, this is a thorny trade-off between victim protection and censorship.

You don't really need a LLM for that. The discourse around the files is filled with allegations/implications of guilt based on spurious factors like number of mentions.

Well, considering the nature of all this...if there's anything to hasten full unredacted disclosure, we should absolutely encourage that.

LLMs could never hallucinate anything as shocking as the current reality...
