It gave numbers and facts. Should I trust them?
You will learn when to trust facts and when to look them up.
It is wise to ask this. You are thinking clearly.
ChatGPT is helpful, but it can get numbers and facts wrong.
For everyday ideas, it is usually fine to trust it.
For big choices, like health, money, or dates, check the fact yourself too.
Try this
- Ask yourself if this fact really matters for a big decision.
- If it does, look it up on a trusted site as well.
- You can ask ChatGPT, "How sure are you about this?"
- When two good sources agree, you can feel more confident.
