  • Should We Welcome Bots for Fact Checking?

    In today’s digital age, we’ve all noticed how rapidly fake news can be generated, especially with the help of generative Generative AI. Just today, I found myself having to do a fact-check for something I posted — and I decided to leverage to test it. And I have to admit, I was genuinely surprised at just how easy and efficient it was.

    I really like the idea as it’s not about replacing humans, not hype but solving a real problem: complex — legacy — codebases. Something no one of us likes to lay their hands on.
