Our summary
AI assistants often write sentences that sound correct and link to real documents. However, the linked document might not actually say what the assistant claims. This guide shows how to automatically check if a specific passage supports a statement.
This method uses Jev, an AI tool that chooses from set options instead of writing new text. You give it a claim and a passage. It returns a percentage showing how likely it is that the passage fully supports the claim, catching exaggerations or missing facts.
This is useful for people managing automated writing, but it has limits. It only checks the text you provide, so it is not a general fact-checker. Because it only gives a number without explaining why, you must read uncertain results yourself.
Key takeaways
- Test what the text actually says, not whether the claim sounds like a true fact.
- Always have a person read the text when the software returns a low or uncertain score.
- Use a different method with more options if you need to know exactly how a citation failed.
