What AI can actually help with

Learn the difference between using AI for help, trusting AI as a source, and asking AI to make a decision.

Key ideas

What to remember

AI assistants are useful for drafts, summaries, comparisons, outlines, and idea organization.

AI can sound confident even when it is incomplete, outdated, or wrong.

You remain responsible for the final work, decision, and context.

Practice

Choose a public article, help page, or non-sensitive piece of writing.

Ask an AI assistant to summarize it in five plain-language bullets.

Compare the summary against the original and mark anything missing or unclear.

What you produce

A short summary with your notes about what was useful, incomplete, or worth checking.

Review before moving on

Did the answer match the original source?

Did it leave out anything important?

Did it add anything that was not in the source?

Keep nearby

Keep a simple review habit nearby when AI is summarizing, drafting, or organizing information for you.
