⚡ The Problem: You hit generate, feel smart, then publish. An hour later, a follower calls you out for a flat wrong fact. You just traded 60 seconds of speed for hours of cleanup and lost credibility.
Why this happens: AI is fast, but speed fools you into skipping the one thing that matters a safety gate. Speed without safety scales mistakes, costing time, money, and audience trust.
The solution: A tiny upfront habit that prevents the cascade. Adding a 60-second check turns random failure into predictable error modes you can fix.
Problem: AI accepts false premises and refuses to challenge bad input.
⚡ Quick Diagnosis (10-15s):
List any assumptions you made to produce the answer. Mark each as CONFIDENT or UNCERTAIN.
🔧 Fix (copy-paste):
You must play devil's advocate. Before the final output, list all assumptions, then provide a counter argument for each. Flag anything unverified as [UNVERIFIED]. Produce the final answer only after resolving or flagging uncertainties.
✅ Validation: If [UNVERIFIED] appears → verify or remove the claim.
Problem: AI states false facts with complete authority.
⚡ Quick Diagnosis (10-15s):
For each factual claim, give a confidence score (0–100) and the type of source you'd use to verify it.
🔧 Fix (copy-paste):
Answer, but for every factual claim add a confidence % and a one-line verification instruction. If confidence <75%, prepend [CHECK] to the claim.
✅ Validation: Remove or caveat claims with <75% or [CHECK].
