AI can give you a useful first draft, a quick summary, or a fresh angle. Before you rely on the result, take a moment to check the parts that could change your decision.
A calm check before you rely on an answer
Trace important claims to the original source, check the details, then decide what belongs in your work.
Start with the details that matter
Check names, dates, prices, quotes, links, and numbers against the original source. Open the link rather than trusting a citation at face value. For a summary, compare it with the source and make sure the important caveats did not disappear.
Ask for the evidence
Ask which part is directly supported and which part is an interpretation. Request the source for each important factual claim. If the answer relies on a recent change, look for a current first-party announcement or documentation.
Try a small reality check
Give the answer a second test. Check it with a simple calculation, a working example, or a person who knows the subject. If you cannot verify a key point, leave it out or label it as something you still need to confirm.
You do not need to fact-check every brainstorming idea. Spend your attention where a mistake would matter, and treat fluent writing as a starting point rather than proof.
