Why this matters
Fluent output invites acceptance. The safeguard is not suspicion — it is one concrete check on the thing that matters most.
The experiment
- 01Take one AI response you plan to act on.
- 02Ask it to list three assumptions behind its answer.
- 03Pick the assumption with the biggest consequence if wrong.
- 04Verify that one independently — another source, a calculation, or a person who knows.
What to notice
Did the assumption hold? How long did checking actually take?
Your reflection
What would it have cost me if I had not checked?
