Why AI hallucinates, and how to check its work in proportion
What you’ll be able to do by the end:
- 1Rewrite a weak instruction so it states the goal, the context, the audience and what good looks like.
- 2Get AI to ask you questions before it drafts, and use the answers.
- 3Catch an invented reference in an AI answer.
- 4Place four AI outputs on the stakes ladder and say what checking each one needs.
- 5Explain, with a work example, the difference between touching a task and carrying an outcome.
The moment it clicks
“Brief it like a colleague, check it like it’s going out under my name.”
The rule you’ll keep
If your name’s on it, you’ve checked it.
General training, not advice. Follow your organisation’s policies. What the course is, and isn’t.
