Does ChatGPT make mistakes?

Yes, and it makes them confidently. Everyone who uses AI should practice catching a wrong answer and asking the AI to check itself. AbleMakers has a whole quest for exactly that.

Staying safe

What do I do when AI gets something wrong?

AI sounds sure even when it is wrong. That is its biggest trick, and anyone can learn to beat it. If an answer feels off, it might be. You are allowed to say so.

The steps

Notice when an answer surprises you or feels wrong.
Say: I think that is wrong. Can you check?
Watch the AI check itself and correct the mistake.
For important facts, ask a person you trust too.
Feel proud. Catching a mistake means you were paying attention.

Stay safe

Never follow AI advice about medicine, money, or safety without a person you trust.
A confident voice is not the same as a correct answer.
