Check the reply

Step 1 of 6

Opening your saved place…

Read before you use

A warm reply can still be wrong.

You can use the sample in this lesson. You do not need an account or a reply of your own.

An AI tool may add a name, date or detail you did not give it. A friendly tone is not proof that a reply is true.

Buddy says

You know the facts of your own task. Keep those beside the reply as you read.

Three checks

Does it fit? Is it true? Is it safe to share?

Check the reply yourself before you send or use it.

Asking the same AI to check itself may help find an issue. It is not proof that the answer is right.

For facts you do not know, check a trusted source. For choices about health, money or law, get help from a qualified person.

Fit: does it do the task in the tone and length you asked for?
Facts: does each detail match what you know? Remove or check any added fact.
Privacy: does it include a name or detail you should leave out?

Find the added fact

Where did Saturday come from?

This sample uses made-up details. The ask does not name a day.

Example message

Write a short thank-you note to a neighbour who watered my plants.

An example AI reply

Thank you for watering my plants on Saturday. I really appreciate your help!

The reply added Saturday. The ask does not support that detail. Remove it, or check the real day before you use it.

Try a repair

Write a version you can support.

Rewrite the sample thank-you note in the box. Leave out the day you cannot check. If you use your own reply, compare each detail with facts you know first.

Your practice box, just for you. Your draft saves in this browser. This box is not AI. Leave private details out.

You can edit a reply yourself. You do not have to send it back to AI.

Start with a few words, or look at the example first.
