People’s explicit, avowed beliefs often differ from the implicit beliefs revealed in their unreflective choices.Their words
'Superbeliefs', I call them. These may differ from the implicit ('basic') beliefs revealed in my unreflective or forced choices. Most people's do, I suspect.

Machines that write well seem to devalue the craft of writing, even as the technology is fascinating.Their words

An underdiscussed aspect of AI is its power to assist and empower. Over the years I've seen many papers by non-native English speakers that contained excellent ideas but were let down (and sometimes mocked) for their poor English.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
