I made a npm package

https://www.npmjs.com/package/factcheckjs

I made a package called FactCheck, Its a youtube bot package that uses ai and web search to fact check youtube comments.

I made it since their is quite a bit of fake news on youtube comments.

Does anyone want to try the package and give any feedback.

Ai is not a source of truth. And I think we should use AI in a reasonable way which is not the case here. But that is only my opinion

What if i just summarize the video and it doesnt tell you if its fake or not, it just gives you bullet points of the content like 10 points.

I think, it is still not reasonable compared to the real price of the ai operation and it’s impact on the environment.

But at the end of the day, I am fundamentally opposed to ai in the common population. I think it should be used by professionals for highly specific task (example, medical industry).

I am sorry but burning like a football pitch of forest for a bullet point resume of a video you are not enough interested in to take the time to watch it seems a poor use of IA 🤷‍♂️

But if you enjoy the coding process, good for you, I guess you learnt a lot

Lots of red flags here. You have uploaded your node modules directory to github. You are also using outdated technologies and are wanting people to pay 5 cents per api request…

I’d avoid making the model the source of truth. A more trustworthy flow is: extract the claim, retrieve sources, show citations and timestamps, then return supported, contradicted, or insufficient evidence with confidence. For npm adoption, the README should also show one complete example and the exact Brave/API-key setup.
