“Measuring the sustainability benefits of these time savings is far from straightforward, because what we do with this newly-freed time can have negative environmental impacts as well, e.g. if time otherwise spent doing chores is now spent shopping or traveling, this can increase one's overall carbon footprint [15].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
