6 Steps In Fact-Checking AI-Generated Content
Whatis, Tuesday, August 6th, 2024
Generative AI tools are now prevalent, yet the extent of their accuracy isn't always clear. Users should question an AI's outputs and verify them before accepting them as fact.
Information disseminated online is increasingly created with the help of artificial intelligence, but such tools are far from perfect.
Earlier in 2024, Google Chrome users reported the search engine's AI overview provided them with misleading information -- such as telling them to use glue to keep cheese from sliding off pizza and eat one rock per day. This is known as an AI hallucination.
In addition to text, generative AI tools can produce audio, video and imagery. This AI-generated content can be used in research outlines, social media posts, product descriptions, blog posts and email content -- and all of it should be scrutinized.
