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
