Inspiration
We wanted to make a fake news detector that could authenticate any information online to be true or false.
What it does
It tells you if an article or fact is false or true using openAI API.
How we built it
We built a website using React that could take either links or text as input. It then makes a request to the API which we implemented with Python, which in turn decides if the information the user inputted is BS or not, and that information is returned to the user through a different screen in the website.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into a lot of problems connecting the back-end to the front-end, we had trouble making the API, the main issue was connecting our flask API to our React program. We ran into some troubles with the styling as well.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We now have a way to fact check any piece of information with a website that we built from the ground up, and properly implementing everything yields a very satisfying result.
What we learned
We learned a lot about the use of React, HTML, API's, and how to implement frameworks such as flask.
What's next for BS.ai
Improvement. We were still able to produce with the time crunch, but focusing on this with more time could improve BS.ai by leaps and bounds.
