Using AI as a Tool
6 MINAI for Research
What you'll learn
  • →Use AI to summarize, compare, and explain — but never to be the final source of truth.
  • →Learn the verification rule: any fact, name, number, or quote must be checked against an original source.
  • →Recognize the smell of an AI hallucination — it's almost always confident, specific, and slightly off.
Proof task

Don't just watch. Do.

Ask any AI to summarize a topic you know well. Find one thing it gets subtly wrong. Now do the same with a topic you don't know well. The lesson is that you couldn't have caught the wrong thing in the second case. Verify everything that matters.
