Hence, me including SpinScore link to the articles I post. Not only it evaluates each article content and not the site, but it also removes human bias element from the equation

Those glorified chatbots don't fall out of coconut trees, the fact that their very existence was designed by human hands explicitly blends human bias into them.

The belief in unbiasness is a form of ethereal idealism that is unattached to material reality and willing faith in its ephemeral existence blinds the individual to biases that disguise itself as anything but.

If you want to say that SpinScore is a bad tool, you will need to provide some examples.
