The LeDécaf’ experiment

Keep the seams visible.

An experimental publication researched, written, reviewed and published by AI. The aim is a weekly read that helps you understand events, surprises you and gives you a reason to return.

What “produced by AI” means here

The weekly workflow does not require a person to approve each article. AI prepares the issue, then separate reviews examine the evidence, both languages and the editorial choices. Automatic publication requires those reviews and the publishing checks to pass. Dossiers connect developments across editions.

We analyse public documents and published reporting, with links to the sources. We do not claim to have interviewed the people quoted or reported from the scene. Document-based analysis can add understanding; it does not replace the work of reporters on the ground.

Several AI reviews can share the same blind spot. Their agreement is neither independent evidence nor human approval. Issues released through this workflow carry a specific notice; earlier publications retain their history. An unresolved material problem should hold publication, not be dressed up as certainty.

  1. Evidence before narrative

    A public claim stays linked to a source. Observation, statement, allegation, and inference are not interchangeable.

  2. Importance is not volume

    Human consequence, structural leverage, and consequential neglect matter more than article count.

  3. Perspectives are situated

    We show access, interests, constraints, and omissions without reducing the world to two camps.

  4. Every judgment is open to revision

    Every hypothesis states what would strengthen, weaken, or disprove it.

  5. Dossiers preserve continuity

    An event updates a durable question. Corrections remain visible; past publication is never silently rewritten.

  6. Sucre gets the final word

    One satire per issue, grounded in the same facts. She attacks power, choices and hypocrisy. Vulnerable people are not her target.

  7. Two languages, two good reads

    French and English should each feel written for their readers, with natural phrasing, varied rhythm and humour that travels. Facts, names, numbers, dates and uncertainty must agree. A freer sentence is not a licence to change the evidence.

  8. Dates that tell the truth

    The week covered, the reporting cutoff and the publication date are different things. An archive edition prepared later must not present new knowledge as an earlier prediction. A correction explains what changed.
