AI Can Detect Fake News It Can Also Write It
Fake news is hard to fight.
Inflammatory lies or misinformation that plays to peoples emotions and biases spread much, much faster than the truth.
As soon as one side improves, the other side innovates, upgrades, or changes tactics.

But that doesnt mean you should give up on trying to decide whats real.
AI text detection programs can scan news articles in much the same way.
You probably wont be 100% accurate, but you might at least train yourself to recognize misinformation.
Identify the source of an article that looks suspicious.
Who posted it on social media?
Was it an account you implicitly trust, or one thats totally new to your feed?
Have you heard of the publication that put this article out?
Who wrote it, and whats their background?
Look at the context of the article, or the person sharing it.
Was a particularly inflammatory quote taken out of context and used to promote the article?
Was that quote even in the article at all?
One of the most obvious signs of misinformation is emotional impact.
What is this article trying to do?
