AI sometimes makes things up.

The answer may look clean and sound confident. That does not mean every fact is true.

The rule is simple:

Check important facts before you use an AI answer.

Example

The original notes say:

  • The order shipped Tuesday.

  • The carrier says it is moving.

  • No delivery date was given.

AI writes:

Your order will arrive Friday.

Friday was not in the notes.

AI made it up.

A safer answer is:

Your order shipped Tuesday. The delivery date has not been confirmed yet.

What to check

Look for important facts such as:

  • names

  • dates

  • prices

  • promises

  • rules

  • numbers

Ask one question:

Can I find this fact in the original information?

If the answer is no, remove the fact or check it with a person.

Do not guess.

Copy this prompt

Compare the AI answer with the original information. List every fact that is not supported. Do not guess. Tell me what a person needs to check.
