Congrats on launching Fact Check ! The authenticity of the information is very important!

That's a great idea! However, a product like this can open up a very interesting discussion. Mainly, how do you let the AI determine what is fake news and what is real? If a lot of humans fall for it, how do you make a language model determine "the truth"? Anyway, I love the idea, and you definitely have a product-market fit! 😄

This is a great idea! Curious how the search works? Does it search the exact text you highlighted? For your example about Pakistan, would the search be biased at all? i.e. would it only return articles stating 52 degrees, thus thinking that it's true even if it might not be?

This sounds incredibly useful, Dylan! How does Fact Check gather and verify the information it provides? Also, is there a way for users to report inaccuracies or suggest improvements directly through the extension? Excited to try it out and see how it can streamline my research process!

Nice idea! 💯 I'll give it a try shortly. Congratulations on the launch @dylan_ooi 🚀
