Spot the part you should not trust yet

Step 1 of 6

Before we start

Let's get your AI open first.

An AI helper is a free tool that answers what you type, in plain words. The one we use is called ChatGPT.

Open it now. Type chatgpt.com in your web browser, or tap the app if you have it on your phone. A web browser is the program you use to visit websites.

It may ask you to sign in or pick a plan. That is normal. The free plan is all you need today.

You cannot break a single thing here. We are just going to read one answer slowly, with calm and careful eyes.

It opens right next to this page, so you never lose your spot. Come back any time. Nothing here disappears.

Got it open? Lovely. Today we slow down and read. That is the whole skill, and you can do it.

The big idea

Sure is not the same as right.

ChatGPT can sound very sure of itself. But sounding sure is not the same as being right.

An answer can go wrong in three small ways. Watch for these three:

Wrongthe fact is simply not true

Made-upChatGPT invented a fact that does not exist

Missinga key part is left out

So look for the part that must be true. It is often a date, a price, a rule, or a step.

For money, health, legal, account, or safety facts, do not trust ChatGPT alone. Ask a real person you trust.

Never type private details, such as your full name, address, account number, or health facts.

Buddy says

One quiet question helps a lot. Ask: would this hurt me if it turned out to be false?

See it work

Watch a careful reader catch one risky line.

A quick, vague try

is this answer right

Add the who, what & how

A clear request

Look at this answer. Point to the one part stated as a fact, and tell me what to check before I act. Here it is: "For a small day trip, leave by 8am, pack water and snacks, and the museum closes at 5pm."

What the AI sends back

The part stated as a fact is the closing time: "the museum closes at 5pm." Check that on the museum's own website before you go, because hours can change. The rest is safe and low-risk: leaving by 8am and packing water and snacks.

See it? The plan is fine. But the closing time is the one part to check first.

Your turn, no wrong answers

Write your do-not-trust-yet note.

Pick one safe AI answer you got today. Type a short note. Start with Do not trust yet, name the one part to check, and add why. Leave out anything private.

Your practice box, just for you. What you type here stays on this page. It is not the AI.

Stuck? Look for a date, a price, a rule, or a time. That is usually the part to check.

Type anything in the box, even a few words. There is no wrong answer here. Then this opens.

It opens right next to this page, so you never lose your spot. Come back any time. Nothing here disappears.

You did it

You read with calm, careful eyes.

Sure is not the same as right. An answer can be wrong, made-up, or missing a part.
Find the one part that must be true: a date, a price, a rule, or a step. Note it before you act.
For money, health, legal, account, or safety facts, ask a real person. When in doubt, leave it out.
Keep private details to yourself: never type your name, address, account number, or health info.

Buddy says

You just learned to pause before you trust. That is a quiet, powerful skill. I'm proud of you!
