GROK : While SOHR is recognized and used as a source by many international news outlets, its legitimacy can be viewed differently based on one's perspective on the conflict and the sources they trust. It provides valuable on-the-ground information, but readers should approach its reports with an awareness of potential biases and corroborate the information with other sources for a comprehensive understanding of events in Syria.
CHAT GPT: In summary, while SOHR can be a useful source for information on Syria, it's essential to approach its reporting critically and cross-reference it with other credible outlets.
My summary: I will use them when they seem to be offering balanced repoprting of daily actual events, not for analysis that might include political bias.
If you disagree please lmk and I'll axe them.
