Your AI just made something up. Would you have caught it?
ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude sound confident — even when they’re wrong. Lenz verifies AI-generated claims against real evidence in seconds.
Why AI needs fact-checking
AI language models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are incredible tools — but they’re not perfect. They can:
- Hallucinate facts — Confidently state things that aren’t true
- Cite fake sources — Reference studies or articles that don’t exist
- Mix up dates and numbers — Get statistics wrong while sounding authoritative
- Repeat outdated information — Their training data has cutoff dates
The problem? AI sounds confident even when it’s wrong. And most people don’t have time to verify every claim manually.
How Lenz verifies AI output
- Extract the claim — Paste AI output or type the specific claim
- Evidence search — Lenz searches trusted sources (scientific journals, government data, fact-checkers)
- Confidence scoring — Get a rated verdict (True, Mostly True, Misleading, or False)
- See the sources — Review the actual evidence used in the analysis
Think of it as AI fact-checking AI — with transparent sourcing.
When to fact-check AI
Research & writing
Verifying claims before you cite them in articles, reports, or presentations.
For publishers →Learning & education
Double-checking AI tutors’ explanations before you trust them for homework or exams.
For students →Professional work
Validating AI-generated statistics before you present them to clients or stakeholders.
Verify before sharing →Real example: AI vs. reality
“The ABC Conjecture was proven by Shinichi Mochizuki in 2012 and widely accepted by the mathematical community.”
Misleading (4/10)
Mochizuki published a claimed proof in 2012, but it remains unverified and controversial. The mathematical community has NOT widely accepted it as of 2026.

Tips for spotting AI hallucinations
- Check specific claims separately — AI often buries one wrong fact inside a paragraph of correct ones. Isolate and verify each claim.
- Be skeptical of citations — AI frequently invents author names, journal titles, and DOIs. Always click through to the original source.
- Watch for confident language — Phrases like “studies show” or “experts agree” don’t mean the AI actually found those studies or experts.
- Cross-check numbers — Statistics, dates, and percentages are where AI models fail most often. Verify any number that matters.
- Use Lenz as your second opinion — Paste the claim, get an evidence-backed verdict, and see the real sources.
