People do fact checking by searching for information from multiple sources, possibly tracing it back to the primary source, assigning some confidence level to those sources, and selecting the information that is best supported by the evidence and reason. Can Open Assistant learn to do it's own fact checking in a human-like way?
AI models like Open Assistant can perform fact checking to some extent. It can search for information from various sources, compare, and analyze their reliability. However, its performance may not be as accurate or comprehensive as a human fact-checker, primarily because the model relies on the knowledge it has been trained on and cannot access real-time data or evaluate sources in the same way a human would.

Improvements in AI technology may enable Open Assistant to become better at fact-checking over time, but it's crucial to remember that AI models will still have limitations and might not always provide perfect results.
in what specific way can you fact check?
I can search relevant reputable sources, using vectored information, such as Khan Academy, or Wolfram Alpha, and then provide the source when translating the information to output.
