Snopes
In July 2024, Snopes introduced "FactBot," an "artificial intelligence (AI) tool to fact-check your burning questions about online rumors."
In 2021, we wrote about an example of Snopes attempting to fact-check a subjective claim about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
On April 2, 2022, a fake quote was shared by the @Sassychickie account on Twitter that claimed U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris said, “Gas prices are high due to gas prices not being low as before. To get back to lower prices we have to acknowledge gas is high which is the opposite of low.” The tweet came at a time when gas prices were hitting record-high numbers...
There’s no audio, video, or documented record of Harris ever saying this about gas prices on any online news websites, including on right-wing blogs. It also does not appear in any transcripts for speeches, news conferences, town hall talks, or television interviews. It appeared to have been either fabricated for the tweet, or perhaps it originated from a source that claims to publish humor or satire.
