The fund, sustained by a $13.2 million donation from Google and YouTube, poses a crucial question on the independence of these fact-checkers. “YouTube doesn’t endorse or create any of the fact checks that are shown in information panels on YouTube,” Google says. While YouTube claims to use independent fact-checkers for providing panels on content, the entanglement of its purse strings with the very fact-checkers raises concerns about this so-called impartiality.

when someone says fact checker, I instantly think of a neck-bearded, fedora-wearing, cheeto munching, pimple ridden fat lard ass on his couch smearing his grimey fingers on an ipad.

You are better of just running your own open AI without filters or censors and letting it just tell you things (no assumption given it's correct). Google is going to use their shitty bard to do this in the future anyway so you might as well not get the soy version.
