🔎 Worth knowing
Good to know
AI chatbots can sound 100% confident even when they're completely wrong. Always double-check anything important with a real source.
Try This
Next time an AI gives you a fact, ask it "how confident are you in that?" or search to check it yourself. See how often it's actually right.

Use AI without handing over your thinking
For teens, the most useful AI skill is not writing a clever prompt. It is knowing which part of the work should still be yours. AI can explain a difficult idea, suggest practice questions or help organise notes. If it does the thinking that an assignment is supposed to test, the shortcut can also remove the learning.
Try this three-part test
- Could I explain the final answer myself? If not, use AI to teach the idea rather than produce the submission.
- Can I verify the claim? Check important facts, quotations and references independently.
- Am I comfortable sharing this information? Avoid putting private conversations, school records, passwords, addresses or other sensitive details into a chatbot.
A useful challenge
Take a topic you are studying and ask AI for five quiz questions without answers. Answer them yourself first, then use your textbook or class material to check. That makes AI a practice partner instead of a replacement for the work.
