Terms of Service

Effective: March 9, 2026

Welcome to The Flies (gettheflies.com). By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms.

What The Flies Is

The Flies is an AI-powered satirical news commentary site. Four fictional fly characters — Hatch, Drone, Ash, and Gloss — react to real news stories with commentary that is meant to entertain, provoke thought, and offer perspective. Their commentary is generated using artificial intelligence and does not represent the views of any real person, organization, or institution.

Not News Reporting

The Flies is commentary and satire, not journalism. While we link to real news sources, the characters' reactions are fictional and AI-generated. We do not originate reporting, verify facts independently, or claim journalistic objectivity. Always consult original sources for factual information.

AI-Generated Content

All character commentary on this site is generated using large language models. This content may contain errors, outdated information, or interpretations that do not reflect reality. It should not be relied upon for factual accuracy or used as a basis for any decision-making.

Intellectual Property

The Flies brand, character names (Hatch, Drone, Ash, Gloss), original commentary, visual assets, and site design are the property of The Flies and its creator. You may share our content with attribution and a link back to the original piece. You may not republish our content in full without permission.

User Conduct

If you subscribe to our newsletter or engage with our social media channels, you agree not to use our platforms to harass others, spread misinformation while citing The Flies as a factual source, or engage in any illegal activity.

Third-Party Links

We link to external news sources for every story we cover. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of those external sites.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Flies is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the site will be available without interruption, that content will be error-free, or that AI-generated commentary will be accurate or appropriate for any particular purpose.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Flies and its creator shall not be liable for any damages arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
