Compare the reply with the source

Step 1 of 6

Opening your saved place…

Check for yourself

Put the source and the reply side by side.

Read the full reply beside the text it explains. Look for details that changed, went missing or were added.

You can ask ChatGPT to help compare them. Its own check can still miss a mistake, so review the source yourself.

You can point to the words that support each claim.

Three useful checks

Check more than whether the topic matches.

An answer can name the right event but give the wrong time. A summary can keep the time but leave out what to bring.

When asking for a comparison, include both the source and the reply. Without the reply, there is no complete answer to check.

Matching a notice shows what that notice says. It does not prove that an old notice is still current. Check with the issuer when the date, version or meaning is unclear.

ChangedBefore 9 became by noon.

MissingAn instruction was left out.

AddedA reason appeared without a source.

A complete comparison

The notice makes the mistakes clear.

Made-up notice: Water shutoff Tuesday, 9 in the morning to noon. Fill containers before 9 in the morning. Sample reply: Water is off Tuesday morning for pipe repairs. Fill containers by noon.

Example message

Compare this reply with the notice. Notice: "Water shutoff Tuesday, 9 in the morning to noon. Fill containers before 9 in the morning." Reply: "Water is off Tuesday morning for pipe repairs. Fill containers by noon." List changed or missing details and added claims. Use only the notice.

An example AI reply

- Changed: The notice says to fill containers before 9 in the morning, not by noon. - Missing: The reply leaves out the exact shutoff times, 9 in the morning to noon. - Added: The notice gives no reason for the shutoff; pipe repairs were guessed.

Both texts are supplied, so each finding can be checked. Before 9 is not the same as by noon. This sample checks wording; it does not verify a real shutoff date or current utility notice.

Check the limit of the evidence

Does a matching answer prove today’s hours?

An old library sign says it closes at 6 in the evening. A summary copies that time correctly. You do not know whether the sign is current. Choose an answer to see why, then continue. This is practice, not a grade.

Compare both texts

Find what the event summary changed.

Made-up sign: "Library event: Friday at 2 in the afternoon, Room B. Register at the front desk." Sample reply: "The event is Friday at 3 in the afternoon in Room B." Write the changed and missing details. Then name anything still unclear before attending.

The room matches. Check the time, registration instruction and calendar date.
