"Correcting" incorrect information with more incorrect information doesn't improve the situation.
AI tools are inherently unreliable because of the randomness in their text generation algorithms.
And worse, Europe doesn't build its own AIs. LLM fact checking would have to be done by Grok or Claude or some other product from big American tech. And there's an obvious problem with a social media network trying to avoid American censorship and political bias and corporate domination but "fact checking" with a tool that has American censorship and political bias and corporate domination built into it.
And on a personal level, I don't want to use a social media site that has a bot scanning my posts and flagging them for wrongspeak - or that interjects automated bot opinions into conversations between humans. I use social media to talk to other human beings, not bots, thanks. If I wanted to know what chatGPT thinks of a post I'd fucking ask chatGPT.
