Neil envisages an artificial intellignece tool that "would automatically give a score out of 10 on *its* assessment of the reliability of the information, including which aspects it disagrees with."
Unfortunately, someone would need to score the AI for the reliability of its information as well, given how prone to invented facts it is. AI is like a puppy dog that is eager to please - the information it brings you is as reliable as you want it to be.
