  1. A model answer sounds smooth and sure of itself. What does that prove?

    • Every claim must be true
    • Checking is a waste of time
    • Nothing. Confidence is not evidence

  2. Which claims in an answer carry the weight?

    • Greetings and jokes
    • Names, dates, numbers, and quoted sources
    • Polite filler words

  3. A model says a study supports its answer. How do you check that?

    • Reread the model's sentence twice
    • Find the study yourself in a fresh search
    • Ask the model to repeat it

  4. A factual claim appears nowhere outside the model's answer. What do you do?

    • Pass it on with confidence
    • Drop it or mark it unconfirmed
    • Invent a source for it

  5. Why is a reference the model produced not proof it exists?

    • Printers often jam on references
    • Real studies have no authors
    • Models can invent realistic titles and links

  6. Rereading the model's own words about a study counts as checking the study.

    Circle one:   True   False

  7. A student repeats a claim checked only against the model's own words. What went wrong?

    • The student never left the original source
    • The student checked too many sources
    • The model was asked too politely

  8. An answer makes four claims: two dates, a joke, and a greeting. Which two matter?

    • The joke and the greeting
    • The two dates
    • Any two at random

Checking what a model tells you W1-mt_Qh4Pnnfqv2-s1

  1. Nothing. Confidence is not evidence · Tone tells you nothing about truth.
  2. Names, dates, numbers, and quoted sources · Weight-carrying claims are the ones worth checking.
  3. Find the study yourself in a fresh search · Leaving the source and finding it yourself is the check.
  4. Drop it or mark it unconfirmed · What cannot be found elsewhere should not travel further.
  5. Models can invent realistic titles and links · Invented references look real until you search for them.
  6. False · A real check happens outside the source that made the claim.
  7. The student never left the original source · Without an independent source there was no real check.
  8. The two dates · Dates carry weight, so those two earn the checking time.
