Sure, I'll sign a 1099 with you for $120.00/hr.

Seriously, though, I hope that you realize that LLMs are incapable of "fact-checking", because they don't know what "facts" are.

I don’t know… the “desensationalize news” demo that was circulating on HN a few weeks ago was pretty impressive.

Yes, NewsMinimalist. Anti-clickbait headline reinterpretation is amazing.

But you think humans (by and large) do know what "facts" are?

Are people known to be good at fact-checking?

Would you like me to fact-check that fact for you?

You can build procedures for fact checking quite easily. It is like asking gpt to write code and tests.

Does an LLM need to “know” what a fact is? I think what you’re asserting is mostly philosophical, and it doesn’t affect the end result which is that you demonstrably can provide certain LLMs with incorrect information and have that information corrected.
