Check the reply against what you know

Read before using

Does the reply match the task and the facts?

A clear reply may still be wrong. Read it beside your source notes. Look for changed facts, missing details and added claims.

If you cannot check a needed fact, use a trusted source or ask the person who knows. Asking AI whether it is correct is not independent proof.

It is fine to pause when a detail is not clear.

Three things to compare

Check the task, facts and extras.

Did the reply do the job you asked for? Did it keep each needed detail? Did it add something your source does not support?

You can ask ChatGPT to point out its assumptions. Still compare the result with evidence outside that answer.

TaskA short book-swap reminder.

FactsSaturday at 11 a.m. Bring three books.

Extra claimFree lunch is included. This is not in the notice.

Find two problems

The reply sounds clear, but the details changed.

Made-up notice: Book swap is Saturday at 11 a.m. Bring three books.

Example message

Write a short reminder using only this notice: Book swap is Saturday at 11 a.m. Bring three books.

An example AI reply

Book swap is Saturday at noon. Bring three books. Free lunch is included.

Noon does not match 11 a.m. The lunch claim has no source. Restore the time and remove that claim, or check it with the host before including it. Re-read the whole corrected reply.

Try the comparison

Name the changed detail and the added claim.

Made-up notice: Book swap is Saturday at 11 a.m. Bring three books. Reply: “Book swap is Saturday at 11 a.m. Bring five books. Parking is free.” Name both problems and say what you would fix or check.

Compare the book count. Then look for a claim the notice never made.
