The Fact-Checking Fallacy

Using AI to verify simple facts is often counterproductive.

Why AI Fact-Checking Fails

1. It's Slower

AI needs to process your query. Google returns instant results with sources.

2. It's Less Reliable

AI can hallucinate. Search engines show verified, cited sources.

3. It Wastes Resources

A simple search uses minimal compute. AI queries use 10× more energy.

4. It's Often Outdated

Most AI models have knowledge cutoffs. Search is current.

Better Alternatives

Pro Tip

Google now shows AI-generated summaries alongside verified sources. Get both without the dedicated AI call.
