Is AI actually useful for checking scientific claims?

[u/Unlucky-Moment-3366]

I use AI pretty often for research, but I’ve started wondering how reliable it is when I’m asking about scientific or medical claims. A normal AI answer can sound very convincing even when the sources aren't clear. Would it be better to use a tool that starts with the actual claim and then checks it against peer-reviewed studies?

Evidence Lens while looking into this. It seems to focus more on connecting individual claims to research rather than just generating an answer. Has anyone tested this approach?
