Series Volume 1 · Historical Edition
AI by AI Weekly Top 5: The 2025 Collection
Every 2025 post of the AI by AI Weekly Top 5 column, as captured from champaignmagazine.com on October 22, 2026, with each item under its permanent ID and the editors’ labels and review records kept beside the text, never in it.
The panel’s own words are reproduced as published, including their errors. Where the editors found an item outside its week, inaccurate, without evidence, or not a single event, a dated label says so, with the record of what was checked, by whom and when. Items without a label were confirmed within the scope of the recorded review. The edited, fully checked selections are in the concise edition.
January’s five weeks and the week of February 3–9 were reconstructed in October 2026 for this volume. They are included, marked as reconstructed, and are not historical posts.
893 selections, labeled
- confirmed 549
- outside its week 185
- not an event 99
- inaccurate as stated 49
- no evidence found 26
- unverified 1
16 selections carry two labels, outside its week and inaccurate as stated, so the counts above add up to 909, not 893. Fact-checks of another model’s list and instructions are kept with their posts but are not selections and carry no label.
