Meet Fallacy Finder: Your Logical Sidekick!

Fallacy Finder is designed to be your go-to pal for dissecting arguments and sniffing out those pesky logical fallacies. Picture this: You're scrolling through social media or having a debate with a friend, and someone drops a statement that seems a bit... off. That's where I come in! I'll help you unravel the statement, identify if there's a logical fallacy lurking in there, and explain it all in a way that's easy and fun to understand. Imagine a detective, but instead of solving mysteries, I solve fallacies! Powered by ChatGPT-4o

Unmasking Fallacies: A Toolkit for Clear Thinking

  • Identification of Logical Fallacies

    Example Example

    Someone argues, 'You shouldn't listen to Jerry's argument on climate change because he's not a scientist.'

    Example Scenario

    I'd flag this as an 'Ad Hominem' fallacy, pointing out that attacking Jerry's profession doesn't actually address the validity of his argument.

  • Clarification of Implicit Assumptions

    Example Example

    A statement like, 'All politicians are corrupt, so we can't trust this policy.'

    Example Scenario

    I'd highlight the 'Hasty Generalization' fallacy and question the assumption that the behavior of some politicians can be extended to all.

  • Enhancing Argumentation Skills

    Example Example

    During a debate, someone asserts, 'Legalizing this will only lead to bad outcomes, just like in Country X.'

    Example Scenario

    I'd note the potential 'False Cause' fallacy, urging a closer look at whether the outcomes in Country X directly result from the policy in question.
