Automated real-time fact-checking is the future, but current AI still has a long way to go towards achieving it, say Joel Skadiang and Jaga Naidu from independent fact-checking platform Black Dot Research.
In an era of rapidly advancing technology, large language models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful tools capable of generating human-like text and transforming various industries.
LLMs, a form of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, are computerised language models that have been pre-trained on large textual datasets. With these large databases at their disposal, these language models are capable of generating detailed text based on simple user prompts, capturing much of the syntax and semantics of human language.
Although only in their infancy a few years ago, LLMs have progressed by leaps and bounds to become almost omnipresent in present times. Recent developments have created much excitement about the apparently limitless potential of LLMs and generative AI, thanks to user-friendly versions such as ChatGPT that have become exceedingly accessible to the general public.

No. Because depending on your ideological bent, the definition of what news is “fake” isn’t uniform.
It depends on what your definition of “is” is.
That guy was an idiot. He asked ChatGPT made up the citations, so he knew it might make them up. But when it denied making it up, he didn’t check their work. If he even checked one of the ten citations, he would have found out. That’s just lazy. I would have checked them even if another lawyer or paralegal had done it.
AI IS fake news,,,its in the name...artificial.
More like AI will keep the world awash in fake news.
With "AI" and all your stuff being online and under the control of the "AI" what do you have to check it against?
It is why I read and keep books. The internet has a lot of nonsense on it. And the internet is where the "AI" will be doing it's "fact checking".
AI will be used to BLANKET the world with fake news.
Fake News asks I’d AI can save the world from, “fake news.”
I suspect that AI will be the primary source of misinformation. Maybe humans will be forced to migrate back to actual journalism, just to make ends meet.
Not as long as libtards are programming the AI
Libtardism is Fake News
AI: You know, climate has fluctuated wildly for millenia.
(Tightens a screw here and there)
AI: Come to think of it, the world is getting hotter than ever lately.
As if we could trust ‘ Asia news’, the CCP and their running dog AI.
Pfft
Artificial intelligence is a very sophisticated computer program, but like every other program devised to make order out of chaos, it is still a matter of “Garbage in, garbage out”.
The program may be very good at deductive reasoning, but INDUCTIVE reasoning is an entirely different order of data management. Given an assortment of data that is presumed to have some relevance to the problem at hand, the program still would not have the basis of comparison to access the veracity or reliability of any and all pieces of data presented. Someone else feeding the data would have to make that judgment, and selectively discard or introduce these data points based on intuition, using no real reasoning that can be argued logically.
AI may be able to complete the task of assessing any large quantity of data quickly, but it is following its own internal logic, and there is no check or balance yet devised that can prevent impaired or incomplete data that appears plausible from taking that string of logic off to a wholly erroneous conclusion.
“More like AI will keep the world awash in fake news.”
It will be The Hill without the four idiot authors.
SPOT ON!
Agreed. I don’t trust it at all because I absolutely don’t trust the programmers.
