Spotting Fake Facts and Invented Sources
The practical detection skills: how to recognize a fabricated statistic, a made-up citation, or a quote that was never said.
The 60-Second Sanity Check
A fast, repeatable habit for pressure-testing any AI answer before you use it — does this even make sense, and how would I confirm it?
Knowing When AI Is Out of Its Depth
Recognize the situations — recent events, niche expertise, high-stakes specifics — where you should not rely on AI at all, no matter how fluent it sounds.
Keeping Your Expertise in the Driver's Seat
Your experience is the asset AI can't fake. Learn to use AI as a tool under your judgment instead of letting it quietly replace it.
Build Your Verification Checklist
