Fact Check & Privacy
Not everything AI tells you needs a fact-check. But some things absolutely do. Here's how to know the difference.
Anything you're about to act on
Anything health or medical
Legal and financial decisions
Specific numbers, dates, and statistics
Quotes from real people
Worth a Quick Look
Recent news and current events
Local businesses, hours, and prices
Lesser known people, places, or products
Industry specific or technical claims
Trust It & Move On
Brainstorming and idea generation
Summarizing content you provided
Explaining well known concepts
Formatting, rewriting, or reorganizing your own work
When wondering about AI privacy, ask yourself: would I be comfortable if this showed up somewhere unexpected? If not, leave it out.
