Save a card that keeps you safe with AI

Step 1 of 8

Carry it with you

Let's save what you've learned.

You learned a big truth. AI can sound very sure, even when it is only guessing.

Let's keep that truth close by. We will make one tiny card and save it in a note.

The card has three short parts. Each part is one line. That's all you need.

One reminderAI guesses. I check what matters.

Your quick checkname the part that must be true, then check it

The big-stuff linefor money, health, legal, account, or safety, ask a real person

One rule keeps the card safe. Save no private details. No real names, no real numbers.

When in doubt, leave it out. The card holds your steps, not real answers.

Buddy says

A note on your phone works great. Title it "How I read AI" and we'll fill it in together.

Start the card

Write one short reminder line.

First, save the one line that says what AI really is.

Open your note. Give it a title. Then type your reminder.

Keep it short, under ten words. Read it out loud once, then save it.

A short line is easy to remember. You will see it any time AI sounds sure.

If your line feels long, trim it. Keep only this: "AI guesses, so I check."

Buddy says

Said out loud, does it feel true and short? Then it's a keeper.

See it work

Watch a plain ask build your reminder.

A quick, vague try

make me a reminder about AI

Add the who, what & how

A clear request

Help me write one short reminder line about AI. It should say that AI guesses, so I check the parts that matter. Keep it under ten words.

What the AI sends back

Here is a short one you can save: "AI guesses. I check what matters." It fits under ten words and is easy to remember.

Same idea, but the second ask tells ChatGPT what to say and how short to keep it. That's why the reply is so much better.

Two more lines

Add your check and the big-stuff line.

Below your reminder, add your own two-line check.

Line one names the part that must be true. Line two checks that part with a real source.

Then add the last line, the one for the big stuff.

Write this: For money, health, legal, account, or safety, a real person decides.

Some choices are too big for a guess. This line tells you when to stop and ask a real person.

Buddy says

Now read the whole card out loud, top to bottom. Does it hold together? Then clean it up.

Keep it safe

Clean out any private details.

A saved card can hold a name or a number by mistake. Let's keep yours clean.

Read every line slowly. Look for any real name, number, address, account, or health fact.

If you find one, delete it. The card holds your steps, not real answers.

When in doubt, leave it out. The card still works without it.

Then save the clean card. You are done.

Buddy says

Your check stays general: "name the part that must be true, then check it." No real answers saved.

You did it

You saved a card that keeps you safe.

Your reminder says it plain: AI guesses, so I check what matters.
Your check names the part that must be true, then checks it with a real source.
For money, health, legal, account, or safety, a real person decides, and your card holds no private details.

Buddy says

You built your own safety card and tested it yourself. That's a skill you'll use for years. I'm proud of you!
