Check the reply with its source

Look before using it

A helpful tone is not a fact check.

A reply can sound like the helper you asked for and still be wrong. Check the job, the facts and the form.

AI can help point out a possible issue. Its approval is not independent proof that its answer is right.

Keep the source beside the reply.

Three checks

Compare what you asked with what you got.

Use the actual task and source text. A description like “a short note” is not enough to check what the note says.

For a new claim, use a source that can confirm it. If you cannot check a claim that matters, wait before using it.

A flawed sample

Find the changed time and the extra claim.

Made-up notice: Book club meets Monday at 5 p.m. in Room C. Bring a book.

Example message

Be a friendly note helper. Write a short reminder using only this notice: Book club meets Monday at 5 p.m. in Room C. Bring a book.

An example AI reply

Book club meets Monday at 6 p.m. in Room C. Bring a book. Free notebooks are provided.

The time changed from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. The notice says nothing about free notebooks. Fix the time and remove that claim, or confirm it with the host.

Try the comparison

Name what needs fixing or checking.

Made-up notice: Film club meets Friday at 4 p.m. in Hall 2. Bring a notebook. Reply: “Film club meets Friday at 4 p.m. in Hall 3. Bring a notebook. Snacks are provided.” Name the changed fact and the extra claim. Say what you would do.

Compare the hall, then find the claim the notice does not support.

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