AI and Truth
Your Bullshit Detector
What you'll learn
- →Adopt the mental model: AI is a very fast intern with no judgment.
- →Learn the implication: check its work the way you'd check an intern's, every time.
- →Build the bullshit detector — that internal pause that says "wait, does this actually make sense?"
Proof task
Don't just watch. Do.
For the next week, every time you use an AI, mentally label it "my intern." Read every output through that lens. Would you forward an intern's work without reading it? You probably wouldn't. Treat AI the same way.

“What would your bullshit detector have caught last month if you'd been using it more carefully?”
