From · Check an AI answer before you rely on it

I want to get better at checking the answers you give me before I rely on them. I'm going to paste in an answer you gave me earlier [or describe the question I asked].

Go through it with me. Point out every specific fact, figure, name, date or quote in it, tell me how confident you are in each and why, and tell me which ones I should check against an original source before I use them. Then suggest where I could check them.
