Picking up where you left off

AI compared two things. Now let's check it.

Last time, ChatGPT lined up two choices for you. That was great work.

But ChatGPT can be wrong about real-world facts. So we check it before we decide.

Every answer hides two kinds of lines. Here is how to tell them apart:

An opinion"This one feels simpler." Soft. You cannot check it.
A fact"This one costs $40 a month." Hard. You can check it.

Facts are what really decide a choice. So those are what we hunt for.

One rule keeps you safe. ChatGPT does not know today's price or your store's rule. For money, health, or a contract, a real person decides, not ChatGPT.

It also does not know your private details, and you should never type them in. That means no full name, no address, no account number, and no health notes.

An opinion is a feeling. A fact is a number or a rule. That small split is the whole trick today.
