Picking up where you left off

When facts are missing, AI guesses.

Last time you learned to spot a wrong answer. Here is the most common reason answers go wrong.

ChatGPT does not know your life. It has never seen your kitchen, your roast, or your store. When a fact is missing, it fills the gap with a guess. Worse, it makes that guess sound certain. A made-up number can read just like a true one.

The fix is small and easy. You hand ChatGPT a few real facts. You do not need many. Pick only the facts that would change the answer.

A real factthe meat is a 3-pound pork roast
A real factthe store is the one near me

One rule keeps you safe. Leave out anything private. Skip full names, your address, account numbers, health details, and money amounts. Those facts are not needed for a cooking time or a store rule.

Use this for small daily tasks. For money, health, legal, safety, or account problems, ask a real person you trust.

A few true facts beat a long story. Keep it short, and leave the private parts out.
