I didn't mean to imply the AI would detect truth from lies, I meant it could analyze a large body of text to extract the messaging for the user to fact check. Good propaganda has a way of leading the audience along a particular thought path so that the desired conclusion is reached organically by the user. By identifying "conclusions" that are reached by leading /misleading statements AI could help people identify what is going on to think more critically about the subject. It can't replace the critical thinking step, but it can provide perspective.
