Bullshit Detector

Bullshit Detector is an innovative technological solution designed to combat the proliferation of misinformation and deceptive content online. Leveraging an algorithm that assesses the veracity of internet content, the tool offers a systematic approach to distinguish between genuine information and “bullshit.” The method it employs involves reversing content into a question format, which is then explored through variably generated answers under a high softmax temperature to appraise its factual correctness.

Developed by researchers intent on fact-checking the internet, Bullshit Detector not only addresses the health news sector but also spans across various sources where misinformation may be prevalent. Available at https://bullshitdetector.tech/, the platform integrates tools such as jsDelivr CDN within its tech stack, ensuring that it operates efficiently. While currently costly and somewhat slow, there are plans underway to refine the technology, making it faster and more economical for broader use. This effort to create a reliable content verification system comes at a time when fake news and misinformation are significant concerns across mainstream and social media networks.
