Health can be a very nuanced topic. I feel as if a bot would do more harm than good as it's incapable of identifying the little things sometimes. Also, bots learn from the Internet. If there's a general misconception on the Internet and we call it out here, the bot will think it's untrue.
I think it's best if we, as people who care about our health, look at these posts and use our own judgement instead.
People with no training who care about their health, looking at internet posts and using their own judgement is the exact thing fueling the antivax movement...
You're completely right. That being said however, I feel as fact-checking via AI is jumping from one extreme to the other. There's too much room for error with having an AI monitor and fact check this kind of topic.
