What you'll learn
Catch AI when it's wrong, before you act on it
A made up fact sounds exactly like a real one. See why that happens and what gives it away.
Gut check any answer with two questions
Ask what it's trying to get you to do, then check it without using anything it handed you.
Verify a source in under a minute
Ask it for the source, open the link and find the sentence it says is there. A link that opens is only step one.
Turn off the setting that trains AI on your chats
It's on by default on personal plans. See exactly where it lives in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, then flip it.
Know what never to share with an AI
Leave with a short plain English list you keep next to your AI, for work and for home.
Why this topic matters
AI is built to give an answer even when it doesn't know, so a made up fact reads like a true one. You get a one minute check to run before you act, the setting that keeps your chats out of its training and a way to use the same tool as a second pair of eyes on a suspicious email. For those of us over 50, checking before you act is already a habit. This lesson shows you how to apply it to AI too.
