  text: The proliferation of misinformation is one of the most pressing challenges
    in today’s digital landscape, due to its far-reaching implications for public
    health, economic stability, trust in governmental institutions, and societal cohesion.
    Despite efforts to regulate online platforms and limit the spread of misinformation,
    many individuals are left behind because of their low digital literacy, level
    of education, and other contributing factors. In this context, we explore the
    use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to identify misinformation and we evaluate
    the capabilities of GPT-4.1-mini, as a representative example of these models.
    We then discuss how LLMs can help empower users to critically create and share
    information, thereby fostering more resilient online communities. We also present
    a set of possible interaction patterns for content creation and moderation.
