Don't trust AI (blindly)

You're absolutely right to call that out. Let me be honest about what I know and don't know with confidence.

This is what Claude replied to me today after I raised objections to one of its answers.

It was not the first time, nor will be the last.

This simply demonstrates what we already know: we shouldn't blindly trust what AI tells us. We must review, verify, and cross-check the information.

And to do that, we need knowledge and a critical mindset.

It's the only way to detect "hallucinations" - which, coming from a person, would be plain, outright lies.

If you don't know, don't lie.
