# fact checking with prompt chaining

This repo is a simple demonstration of doing fact-checking with prompt chaining. How it works:

- you ask your desired LLM a question

- the LLM generates an initial answer to the question

- the LLM self-interrogates what the assumptions were that went into that answer

- the LLM sequentially determines if each of these assumptions are true

- the LLM generates a new answer to the question, incorporating the new information

## to run

Run

`python3 fact_checker.py 'insert question here'`

*Be sure to wrap your question in quotes if you're passing it as a command line argument.*

Alternatively, you can use the provided `fact_checker.ipynb` notebook.

## example

Question: *"What type of mammal lays the biggest eggs?"*

**Initial answer:**

The biggest eggs laid by any mammal belong to the elephant.

**Assumptions made:**

- The elephant is a mammal 

- Mammals lay eggs 

- Eggs come in different sizes 

- Elephants lay bigger eggs than other mammals

**Verification of assumptions:**

- The elephant is a mammal: TRUE 

- Mammals lay eggs: FALSE - Most mammals give birth to live young.

- Eggs come in different sizes: TRUE 

- Elephants lay bigger eggs than other mammals: FALSE - Elephants do not lay eggs.

**New answer:**

This question cannot be answered because elephants do not lay eggs and most mammals give birth to live young.
