Fact-checking AI-assisted queries
ConnectedInfoWhat this site is for
Often, we need to connect or synthesise information from different independent sources to obtain a broad perspective on answers to questions we are interested in. There is a wide spectrum of such questions covering all aspects of human lives — political, economic, sociological, and more. Indeed, this is one of the reasons we have media.
The present website, closely related to ConnectedNature, reframes AI-based queries into more focused questions that have caught my attention. Recently, I was watching a YouTube video for seniors over 65 travelling by air. Since it had already been watched by more than 300,000 people, it made sense to check the validity of the statements it makes.
Latest inquiry
The first inquiry published here examines a YouTube video that reframes longstanding passenger-rights law as “silent” 2026 rule changes. Each of its twelve claims is checked against the actual regulator — the TSA, EU Regulation 1107/2006, the Canadian Transportation Agency, and published airline policy — and marked as real, partial, or false.
The underlying rights the video describes are broadly real, but the framing around them is largely false. Most are not new, not from 2026, not coordinated internationally, and not uniformly applicable to passengers over 65. Several specific claims do not exist as described. The useful takeaway is not the scripted phrases the video recommends — it is the booking call.

The approach is borrowed directly from ConnectedNature: a claim is never repeated, it is investigated. A specific viral statement is framed as a research question, tested against primary regulators, and answered with visible uncertainty where it exists.
