ChatGPT is helpful and fast. But it is not always right.

It can sound very sure and still be wrong. It can even make things up.

Think of it like a smart friend who is usually helpful. You still check the important stuff yourself.

For big things like money, health, or dates, always check with a real, trusted source.

Try this
  1. Use ChatGPT for ideas and first drafts.
  2. Read the answer and ask, does this make sense?
  3. For important facts, check one other trusted source too.
