If AI ever gets to the point where it can fact check in real time (with actual sources), it will completely change society. Unfortunately, it’s currently on the other side of the problem.
If anything, it demonstrates that the law has mathematical validity. Fact-checking simply requires more work than making shit up. Even when AI gets to the point where it can do research and fact-check things effectively (which is bound to happen eventually), it’ll still be able to produce bullshit in a fraction of that time, and use that research ability to create more convincing bullshit.
Fact-checking requires rigor. Bullshit does not. There’s no magic way to close that gap.
However, most social media sites already implement rate limits on user submissions, so it might actually be possible to fact-check people’s posts faster than they are allowed to make them.

Yeah, the AI stuff is suffering from this right now.
It has generated the best bullshit it can, and is now unable to differentiate it from the human created content it uses to learn from.
by just how AI works it’ll never solve the problem. what we really need is big brother to tell us what’s right and what’s wrong
