Check an AI answer before using it
Step 1 of 5: Identify the claims that matter
Underline names, dates, prices, settings and instructions you might act on. Separate suggestions you can judge yourself from facts that need an independent source.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 2 of 5: Ask for usable sources
Request the original documentation or organisation behind a claim. A source list is a starting point; AI can invent titles and links or cite a real page that says something different.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 3 of 5: Open and compare
Read the actual source and check it supports the specific statement. For device instructions, match the model and software version. For current rules or prices, check when the page was updated.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 4 of 5: Test modest instructions carefully
For a harmless task, compare the suggested menu with your screen before changing a setting. Stop if it involves deleting data, unexpected payment or an option you do not understand.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 5 of 5: Use the right expert route
For health, legal or financial decisions, consult appropriate authoritative guidance or a qualified professional. Correct or discard unsupported claims before copying the answer elsewhere.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.

A common question.
Does asking the same AI twice verify the answer?
No. Repeated answers can repeat the same mistake. Verification means checking independent evidence, not counting how often a chatbot agrees.
