What Does LogicLens Do?
LogicLens is a browser extension that employs a combination of state-of-the-art AI models to critically analyze text on the internet. Our models are purpose-built to identify and highlight instances of:
Informational Deficiency
Gaps in information, such as missing context or oversimplification, that can obscure the truth.
Rhetoric
The art of effective or persuasive writing, especially the use of figures of speech and other compositional techniques.
Fallacies
Errors in reasoning that weaken or invalidate an argument.
Claim
Assertions made by an author, which can be factual, opinion-based, or ambiguous.
Sourcing
Issues related to the citation and reliability of sources used to support claims.
Writing Error
Grammatical mistakes, typos, and other writing errors that can affect clarity.
Bad Practice for Collecting or Presenting Evidence
Use of flawed, misleading, or insufficient evidence to support or refute a claim.
Positive
Well-reasoned, clearly articulated points that strengthen an argument.
For each identified instance, LogicLens provides concise, easy-to-understand explanations and proposes alternate wording where appropriate.
“Bob put Mary in charge of a commission that would identify supposedly wasteful programs that should be eliminated.”
“Supposedly” is often used to indicate that the speaker doubts the truth of the statement.[1] More neutral wording without endorsement or doubt would be “Bob put Mary in charge of a new commission with the stated aim of eliminating wasteful programs.”
