Checking what a model tells you

Computing · Artificial Intelligence · ages 15-16

Name ______________________ Date ____________

A model answer sounds fluent and confident. Does that establish that its factual claims were checked?
- Yes; fluent wording certifies that every claim was checked
- Yes; confidence removes the need to inspect any evidence
- No; presentation does not establish factual checking
Which parts of a model answer are factual claims to consider checking?
- A greeting and a joke that contain no factual statements
- Relevant dates, numbers, quotations and source references
- Polite opening words that make no claims about the subject
A model says a study supports its conclusion. Which action checks support rather than just the study's existence?
- Confirm a matching title, then accept the model's conclusion
- Inspect the study and compare its passage with the claim
- Find a page repeating the conclusion without reading the study
You cannot find adequate evidence for a factual claim in a model answer. What is an appropriate way to use or report it?
- Present it as verified because the model sounded confident
- Omit it or clearly label it unconfirmed
- Declare it false solely because your search found no support
Why is a realistic citation produced by a model not proof that the cited publication exists?
- Every plausible title automatically identifies a real publication
- A believable web address guarantees that its publication exists
- Models can invent realistic publication details
Rereading the model's own description of a study, without inspecting an external source, checks that study's content.
Circle one: True False
A fictional park record says, '120 saplings were ordered; planting has not started.' A model says 120 trees have been planted. What does the record establish about that claim?
- It contradicts the claim that planting occurred
- The matching number proves that planting is complete
- An order confirms that all the trees were already planted
An invented survey reports that 12 of 30 players preferred indoor training. A model says 'Most surveyed players preferred indoor training'. Does the reported count support that statement?
- Yes; any positive count establishes a majority of the group
- No; 12 is less than half of the 30 surveyed players
- Yes; mentioning all 30 players proves that most chose indoor training

No; presentation does not establish factual checking · Tone describes presentation. Evidence is needed to establish support for a factual claim.
Relevant dates, numbers, quotations and source references · Dates, quantities, quotations and references can affect the answer's accuracy. Prioritize those relevant to the task and its consequences.
Inspect the study and compare its passage with the claim · A source's existence does not mean it supports a conclusion. Inspect its identity and reliability, then read and compare the relevant passage.
Omit it or clearly label it unconfirmed · Without adequate support, do not present the claim as verified. An unsuccessful search alone does not establish falsity.
Models can invent realistic publication details · The appearance of a citation does not establish its identity. Check the actual publisher page or a reliable publication record.
False · Rereading the description only repeats the assertion. It does not inspect the study or establish what the study reports.
It contradicts the claim that planting occurred · The record distinguishes ordering from planting and states that planting has not started. It contradicts the completed-planting claim.
No; 12 is less than half of the 30 surveyed players · Half of 30 is 15. Only 12 preferred indoor training, so the count does not support 'most surveyed players'.
