Good intentions, poor execution.
Fact checking is probably best done by a third party of the user's choosing. It's rare that a statement cannot be reasonbly argued from multiple angles. We simply have to pick the sources we trust and picking them for us is probably not the best solution.
I understand the desire to prevent fake stories, but probably much better to tie credibility to individuals so there's more at stake for them personally.
- calciphus 9y agoWould a fact checking engine that allows you to use incorrect information as its source be better or worse than nothing at all?
- everdev 9y agoIn many instances there are many sides to a story. The point is, how do we know Google is unbiased? I don't think it's possible to completely remove bias. Even AI shows bias and if course humans do. Point is, I'd like to see the fact checking that I trust the most not the fact checking that someone else trusts the most. Google might have the best one for me, but I don't feel like it'll be the best for everyone.
