How would "fact checking" work. Can you establish a train of trust that all such sources were human all the way down, let alone accurate?

- euroderf 3y agoThat is a technical challenge for the 21st century. Much more difficult than establishing the provenance of physical goods. But short of that, I was replying to "I'll pay extra for a guarantee (somehow, this is your value proposition) that it was written by a human without the help of generative AI." So yes, I guess that is orthogonal to fact-checking.

(When I had a recent biopsy, I noticed the surgeon and nurses clearly following checklists as they confirmed the site for the procedure before anesthetizing me, checked my identification bracelet and asked my name and date of birth.) Suddenly I'm picturing a new world in which we knowledge workers all have our own personal wikis and carefully go through a checklist for all new info we add to it. Not only "is this AI?" but a general sanity check too.
