Make AI double-check its own answer
Easy start
AI sounds confident about everything. So does that one guy at every barbecue.
Here’s a tiny habit that catches a lot of goofs. After any answer that matters, send this follow-up in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Grok:
“Now double-check your answer. What parts might be wrong or out of date? What should I verify myself, and where would I check? Keep it short.”
It won’t catch everything. But it’ll often flag the shaky bits, like dates, prices, store hours, and “facts” it kinda made up.
For anything with health, money, or legal stuff, the real check is a real person or the official source.
Monday brain, meet backup brain.
After the first answer, reply with what you'd change (shorter, simpler, more detail) and ask for a second version. Then save the prompt that worked so you can reuse it.
