Spot Errors and Bias

Look for invented facts, invented sources and a one-sided view. Models reflect the data they learned from, which can leave out people and viewpoints.

How to check

• Search for any name, quote or number you plan to use.
• Ask the model to argue the other side.
• Compare with a second source.
• Be careful with decisions about people.

Example (fictional)

A model writes a bio of a local business owner and states a founding year. A quick search shows it's wrong by five years. Another time you ask for advice on hiring and it assumes a single type of candidate. Asking it to argue the other side exposes the gap.

Common mistakes

• Trusting names, quotes and numbers without a search.
• Never asking for another view.
• Using it alone for decisions about people.

Exercise

Take one AI answer. Verify three facts with a second source. Ask the model for the opposing view.
