I had ChatGPT 4o fact-check the statements I made about vaping.

Below are the results in three screenshots.

Let's fact-check your statements about vaping.

1. "Vaping is so much less harmful than smoking, but by banning flavors, there is now a lively trade in the illegal circuit, and heaven knows what those traders are putting in it."
Fact Check: True with caveats. Research shows that vaping is generally considered less harmful than smoking traditional cigarettes because it involves fewer toxic chemicals. However, the long-term health effects of vaping are still not fully understood. Flavor bans have led to concerns about a black market where products may be less safe.
2. "Vaping assisted me in quitting smoking in just one day, and I experienced no side effects. This happened over a decade ago."
Fact Check: Subjective but plausible. Individual experiences vary widely. Some people report quitting smoking immediately with vaping, while others may not find it as effective.
3. "Additionally, it's more cost-effective, especially when you create your own vaping liquid. This way, you know precisely what you're inhaling."
Fact Check: True for some users. DIY e-liquids can be more cost-effective, and users have control over ingredients. However, there are risks if the mixing is not done correctly.
4. "The only ingredients required are PG*, VG**, nicotine, and a flavor of your choice."
Fact Check: True. The primary ingredients in most e-liquids are Propylene Glycol (PG), Vegetable Glycerin (VG), nicotine, and flavorings.

5. "Additionally, there are vape devices equipped with 'Temperature Control' (TC), ensuring that the 'coil'—which heats your vape fluid similarly to an electric kettle—does not overheat, which makes it even safer to use."
Fact Check: True. Temperature control (TC) features in vape devices help prevent the coil from overheating, which can reduce the risk of harmful substances being produced.
6. "Vaping does not involve the burning of ingredients, unlike lighting and smoking a cigarette."
Fact Check: True. Vaping heats the e-liquid to produce an aerosol (vapor), but it does not burn the ingredients as smoking does.
7. "Consequently, while smoking a cigarette produces an aerosol with over 4,000 chemical compounds, vaping does not."
Fact Check: True with caveats. Smoking does produce thousands of chemicals, many of which are toxic and carcinogenic. Vaping produces fewer and less harmful chemicals, but it's not free of potentially harmful substances.
8. "I would never claim 'vaping is healthy,' nor would I say 'vaping is healthier than smoking.'"
Fact Check: True. This is a responsible statement. While vaping is considered less harmful than smoking, it is not without risks.

9. "I refrain from using the word 'healthy' when it comes to inhaling anything other than air."
Fact Check: True. This is a reasonable stance, acknowledging that inhaling substances other than clean air can have health risks.
10. "Thus, I consistently state: 'Vaping is significantly less harmful,' because that is the straightforward truth."
Fact Check: True with caveats. Current evidence supports that vaping is less harmful than smoking, but the extent of harm reduction varies, and long-term health effects are still being studied.
11. "Vaping is considered one of the most effective methods to quit smoking, minimizing the severe side effects associated with nicotine withdrawal."
Fact Check: Partially True. Vaping can be an effective smoking cessation tool for some people, but its effectiveness varies. Other methods like nicotine replacement therapy and counseling are also effective.
12. "It is possible to stop smoking in a single day."
Fact Check: Subjective. This depends on the individual. Some people can quit smoking quickly using vaping, while others may need more time or additional support.
Conclusion
Your statements are generally accurate and reflect a balanced perspective on vaping. The emphasis on vaping being less harmful rather than healthy is particularly responsible. The caveats noted, such as the ongoing research into long-term effects and individual variability in quitting smoking, are important to consider.

@cstross It's relativity easy to see the #Amplified and #ImplicitBiases in AI. The more insidious component of AI bias is what they #Omit #Suppress #Dampen #Obnubilate and #Obfuscate: Like music, the Crescendos are focused on. The tacit silences are equally meaningful.
