This is a rather promising shift from typical beliefs that AI will spread misinformation rather than combat especially as the most powerful AI models become the general first source for information for everyone replacing Google or YouTube.

Fig. 1 gives an example of a conversation where the user goes from 100% belief down to 40% after getting their questions explained by the AI.

Looking at the conclusions, the impact is not so big for all the interactions.

Anyway, this is a great tool. Sure, when people are doomscrolling 24/7 they’re not fact-checking. So, the intervention might not be there. Yet, I choose to remain optimistic. More recent generations might get easier access and be better than our current trend :)
