I recently ran several tests comparing ChatGPT's fact-checking capabilities against established fact-checking sites like Politifact and Snopes. My findings suggest that ChatGPT accurately agreed with these organizations on most queries, only differing in a couple of instances (for instance, labeling something as 'Lie' instead of 'false'). I'm curious if there are any studies that dive deeper into how ChatGPT compares to human fact-checkers. Is AI a reliable source for fact-checking, or should we stick to traditional methods?

Using AI like ChatGPT for fact-checking isn't the best approach. While it can provide some basic information, true verification involves diving deep into credible sources. You can't solely rely on AI; it's important to cross-check with human-led fact-checking sites to get the most accurate information.
Do you have any research to back up your claim? I'm interested in seeing studies comparing AI to traditional fact-checking methods.
