Don't hinge your business success on getting an unlimited number of humans to agree with your AI on an unlimited number of facts. The universe of facts is infinite. The larger a user base, the fewer facts they'll collectively agree on. If you take on a large user base and an infinite knowledge domain, you'll lose trust with users who disagree with your fact checking (rightly or wrongly.) Instead, give yourself a smal…

Yea ok, eliminating misinformation is what we want to eventually do. But what we can sell is something that eliminates human errors (the backend also allows for that).

So I put in: > Green Party leader Justin Trudeau was ejected from Canada's House of Commons after fiery exchanges with Prime Minister Jagmeet Singh. Mr Trudeau's removal came after he refused to apologise for calling Mr Singh a "wacko" and "extremist" during a question period. And your service game up with Green => Liberal; was => was not; fiery => factuality; Prime Minister => NDP Leader; "Mr Trudeau's removal came…

Thank you!

Ok, I have heard a lot of good, and bad comments, so I want to clear some things up. First of all, we are using an OpenAI based back-end, we are in the process of developing our own LLM for the task of text fitting. Secondly, the LLM in our approach is currently only used for text translation. This meaning, we assume the LLM dosnt know anything, and thus before the users input even reaches the LLM it has to hit a cou…

I can confirm

Awesome work! I tried it on a couple of pretty confusing examples and it worked out great. However you might want to build with production mode enabled, since your current build actually tries to connect to a Vite dev server on localhost:3000. Here's a primer to help you navigate building for production: https://vitejs.dev/guide/build Best of luck to you Andrew and to the team!

Yea, that was for our devs to test out stuff before pushing out, we forgot to disable it.

Is there more where we can read about how it works? I tried testing it with the sentence “Toledo is the largest city in Ohio” and it’s suggestions were to replace this with paragraphs of text about what constitutes a city in Ohio and history about Ohio, which did happen to include that Columbus is currently the largest city in Ohio. That doesn’t seem strictly helpful as a fact checker as at first glance it isn’t even…

Yea we are working on it. It is a thing that we are trying to fix, it giving too much or too little suggestions.

ALso keep in mind that if you get a huge box full of text it's getting cut out by the UI and you can't reach the buttons!

The "AI based startup" scene is flooded with many of these. What makes you different?

I tried to gauge quality using chatgpt-3.5, 4.0, and your tool. chatgpt produced better results.

Appreciate the hustle, but the hype around AI is fizzing out tbh.

Excellent! Good to see the younger generation practicing skepticism with AI and learning how to use AI appropriately. Keep up the good work!
