FacTool powered by GPT-4 achieves the highest performance across all scenarios, with especially large gains in scientific literature review (95.24 vs 36.71 claim-level F1 against the best self-check baseline). Self-check methods are prone to false positives and less sensitive at detecting factual errors. Among evaluated chatbots (GPT-4, ChatGPT, Claude-v1, Bard, Vicuna-13B), GPT-4 has the best factual accuracy.",
