Do you think fact checking is an inherently more difficult problem then what Watson can do?
I think the standard for accuracy would be very different. If Watson gets something right you think "Wow that was so clever", if it's wrong you're fairly forgiving. On that other hand, I feel like if an automated fact checker got even 1/10 things wrong it would be subject to insatiable rage for doing so. I think specifically correcting others is the situation in which people would have the highest standard for accuracy.
And that's before you get into the levels of subjectivity and technicality in the subject matter which something like Watson would never be subjected to.
Given that Watson get's used to make medical decisions about how to cure cancer I don't think people are strongly forgiving.
