Friday: Fact-Checkers Everywhere

Rocket hears a rumor in the hallway. "Someone said tomorrow is a day off!"

He starts to tell everyone.

Raven stops him. "What do you notice? Who said it, and how do they know?"

Nova hovers by the station calendar. "Where could you check?" she asks.

Not just for AI

Wrong facts can come from many places, not just AI tools.

A rumor, a mixed-up friend or a silly sign can all be wrong.

The same habits work every time: stop, think, check, ask.

AI tools that write things can be wrong and still sound very sure.

So we check them extra carefully, with a grown-up.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
  • Read the question.
  • Tap your answer.
A friend says there are 13 months in a year. What do you do?
A writing tool gives a report that sounds very sure. What do you do?
Rocket checks the calendar. Tomorrow is a normal day. What should he do?
