1. Start with the decision, not the prose
The most useful first question is what could go wrong if the answer is wrong. Put medical, legal, financial, safety, current-price and current-rule claims ahead of general background. A short answer can hide a high-cost assumption.
2. Split the answer into checkable claims
Separate numbers, dates, names, comparisons, causes, recommendations and promises. One paragraph may contain several claims, and one source rarely supports all of them. Smaller claims make missing evidence visible.
3. Mark what can expire
Prioritize information that changes: prices, office holders, product availability, regulations, software versions, exchange rates and schedules. A source can be accurate for its publication date and still be outdated for today's decision.
4. Open the source and read the passage
A citation, domain name or search snippet is not proof by itself. Open the original source, find the exact passage and check whether it supports the whole sentence, including its number, date, comparison or conclusion.
5. Keep support, contradiction and unknown separate
Use three honest states: supported, contradicted and unclear. Do not force a true-or-false verdict when the source is incomplete, inaccessible or about a different population, place or time period.
6. Run a private local pass
H/M Blindspot can flag exact numbers, absolute wording, current claims, causal language and citation gaps in the browser. It does not identify the model or decide whether the answer is true; it helps you choose where to look next.
7. Treat high-stakes answers as research, not a decision
For medical, legal, financial or safety decisions, collect the claims, dates and sources first, then check the current primary or official guidance. A local checker can organize questions, but it cannot replace qualified advice or authoritative sources.
Frequently asked questions
Hogar Mas · hogarmas.net
Can an AI answer checker prove an answer is true?
No. It can organize claims and verification pressure, but a human still needs to inspect suitable primary or authoritative sources.
Does checking an AI answer require uploading it?
No. The local H/M Blindspot workflow runs in the browser. Text leaves the page only when you explicitly open an external search or share a summary.
What should I check first in a ChatGPT answer?
Check current rules, numbers, dates, named studies, citations, safety promises and absolute words such as always, never or guaranteed.
What should I do with a high-stakes AI answer?
Treat it as a starting point, not a decision. Check current primary or official sources and seek qualified advice when the decision affects health, law, finances or safety.
