The day before yesterday, I saw a big guy output a 150,000-word research report using Manus⬇️

Oh my god, have agents evolved to this level now? This is the content of a whole book.
After I calmed down, the first question that popped into my mind was:
Is this 150,000-word research report a masterpiece or garbage?
Obviously, it is extremely unrealistic to read it with my mortal eyes. First, I can't understand it, and different fields are like different mountains. Second, it will take more than a month to finish reading 150,000 words, and I don't have that time. Third, a lot of the logic verification involved is really brain-burning, and my head hurts when I think about it.
So, I spent 3 hours writing a [Prompt Words for Content Logic Review], which is specifically for logical review of this type of long and unreasonable content, using a big model to review the content generated by a big model (100 lines of prompt words, see the end).
As it turned out, this review prompt was indeed reliable. It not only gave the review results of the 50,000 words, but also gave various logical problems for each chapter.
In the 50,000-word excerpt, many logical fallacies were found, and the original source was given.
Very good! Very good!
Next time you use a large model or agent to output content, please run it through this review system to reduce the possibility of being challenged by others.

# Logical fallacy knowledge## Fallacy Classification1. Formal fallacy: incorrect reasoning that violates logical structure  2. Relevance fallacy: using irrelevant factors (emotion/personal/mass) to replace arguments  3. Improper Assumptions: Implicit Unverified Premises or Hypotheses  4. Fuzziness: logical discontinuity caused by linguistic ambiguity or conceptual confusion  5. Causation and Reasoning: Misattribution or Misunderstanding of Probability  6. Statistics and data: Improper use of data or sample bias  7. Appeal to: Using tradition/authority/nature/emotion as an alternative argument  8. Analogy and comparison: inappropriate analogies or double standards  9. Misrepresentation and misdirection: intentionally twisting an argument or diverting attention
## Logical fallacy table| Serial number | Category | Fallacy name | Explanation | Example | | || ------ | ------------ | ------------ | -------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | -- | -- || 1 | Improper assumption | Circular reasoning | The conclusion is the same as the premise, but it is not actually proved. |  "The Bible is true because it says so in the Bible."                            | | || 2 | Improper assumptions | False dilemmas | Only two extreme options are provided, ignoring the possibilities in between. |  "Either you support the war, or you are a coward!" (Ignoring peace talks) | | || 3 | Improper assumptions | Appeal to ignorance | Assuming something is true because it cannot be disproven. |  "No one can prove that aliens don't exist, so aliens exist."                          | | || 4 | Improper Assumption | Begging the Question Fallacy | Implicitly implying the conclusion to be proved in the premise. |  "Because he cheats, he is a dishonest person." ( "Cheating" already presupposes dishonesty) | | || 5 | Analogy and comparison | Mechanical analogy | Ignoring essential differences in analogies. |  "The state is like a family, the government = the parent can monitor the citizens."

(Different power relations) | | || 8 | Ambiguity | Substituting concepts | Secretly changing the meaning of terms. |  "Freedom = doing whatever you want, so freedom is dangerous." (originally referring to political freedom) | | || 9 | Ambiguity | Abuse of metaphor | Using metaphors instead of arguments. |  "The market is like a battlefield, it must be monopolized!" (The logic of the battlefield and the market has nothing to do with each other) | | || 10 | Vagueness | Ambiguity fallacy | Using the polysemy of a word to mislead an argument. |  "A feather is light, and the antonym of light is heavy, so a feather is heavy."                      | | || 11 | Distortion and misleading | Straw man fallacy | Distorting the other party's argument and then refuting it. | A: "Military spending should be reduced."   B: "Do you want your country to be at the mercy of others?"                      | | || 12 | Misinterpretation and misleading | Generalizing | Using a partial case to generalize the whole. |  "There was a robbery in a certain place, so the public security there is very bad." (Ignoring the overall crime rate) | | || 13 | Distortion and misleading | Changing the subject | Avoiding the original point and introducing irrelevant content. | A: "The government should improve medical care."   B: "The economy is the key!"                          | | || 14 | Misinterpretation and misleading | Taking a sentence out of context | Taking a passage and distorting the original meaning. |  "Confucius said 'repay evil with virtue', so we should forgive unconditionally." (The second half of the original sentence emphasizes "how to repay virtue" ) | | || 15 | Misinterpretation and misleading | False correlation | Mistaking coincidental association for causation. |  "Drownings increase when ice cream sales increase, so ice cream causes drownings." (actually due to high temperatures) | | || 16 | Appeal to category | Appeal to tradition | Claiming that something is justified  because it has always been this way . | "Marriage must be between one man and one woman because it has been this way since ancient times."                                  | | || 17 | Appeal to category | Appeal to nature | Think "natural is good" . |  "Natural herbs are absolutely harmless!"

(Only 1 negative review out of 10 is shown) | | || 22 | Statistics and Data | Survivorship Bias | Focusing only on "surviving" data and ignoring failure cases. |  "Bill Gates dropped out of school and succeeded, so studying is useless." (Ignoring most failures) | | || 23 | Statistics and Data | Base Rate Ignorance | Ignoring the base probability and exaggerating the significance of individual cases. |  "A certain drug has an 80% cure rate, but the patient's own recovery rate is 90%, so it is actually ineffective."                    | | || 24 | Correlation Fallacy | Appeal to pity | Using sympathy instead of logical argument. |  "I failed the test, but my mother will be sad, please give me a pass!"                          | | || 25 | Correlation Fallacy | Appeal to fear | Using threats or intimidation to support an argument. |  "Without insurance, your house will catch fire!"                                        | | || 26 | Relevance Fallacy | Ad hominem | Attacking the person's character rather than his argument. |  "He has a low level of education, so his opinion is not worth mentioning."                                  | | || 27 | Correlation fallacy | Appeal to the masses | Because the majority agree, it is considered correct. |  "90% of people believe in horoscopes, so horoscopes are true."                                   | | || 28 | Formal fallacy | Denial of the antecedent | Mistakenly assuming that "if A then B, not A then not B" is true. |  "If it rains, the ground will be wet; it is not raining now, so the ground is not wet."
