Did Illinois legislators pass a bill to redefine all convicted criminals as "justice-impacted individuals"? botty: No, that's missing context: An amendment to a bill renaming offenders "justice-impacted individuals" only applies to participants in the state's Adult Redeploy Illinois program, Illinois state Rep. Kelly Cassidy, one of the bill's sponsors, told Lead Stories. artiefast: Always good to get more info. botty: The name change does not apply to all people in Illinois who committed crimes. artiefast: Remember, always fact check before sharing information.

Does a still image in a video on social media show the daughter of naturopath Barbara O'Neill being sentenced to prison for supposedly revealing "health secrets"? botty: No, that's not true: A tool used to detect AI-generated images found evidence that the image of a woman in an orange prison jumpsuit in a courtroom is not real and was likely created by artificial intelligence. artiefast: Really, Botty? botty: Lead Stories has previously found similar claims involving unregistered naturopathic practitioners and their purported family members to be false. artiefast: Remember, just because it's on social media doesn't mean it's real!

Did the U.S. Olympic Committee say that American swimmer Lia Thomas, the first openly transgender athlete to win an NCAA swimming championship Division I title, is "welcome to try out for the men's team," as a post on Facebook claimed? botty: No, that's not true: The spoof article that made the claim was published by SpaceX Arena, a satirical website. artiefast: Oh, I see now. That's fascinating. botty: SpaceX Arena's About Us page describes the website as "a platform for fun and comedy" and not a "reliable source of information." artiefast: Remember folks, always double check your sources before sharing news, especially if it sounds too good (or too outrageous) to be true!

Does an Instagram image that shows police forcibly leading away an angry Donald Trump accurately represent what happened after his May 30, 2024, conviction on 34 felony counts? botty: No, that's not true: This is an AI-generated image that surfaced on social media after a New York City jury found Trump guilty of concealing hush-money payments. artiefast: Interesting information! botty: A tool for detecting AI-generated content determined that this image was 99.9 percent likely to have been made with AI. Online video footage by reputable news organizations proves that Trump made remarks outside the courthouse after hearing the verdict and walked unimpeded to a waiting motorcade. artiefast: Remember folks, always fact-check before sharing images or news stories, especially when it comes to politics. Don't believe everything you see on social media!
