The lesson

Fluency can resemble testimony without the ordinary human relation to knowledge.

Access to an answer is not the same as access to the means of evaluating it.

Reliance depends on evidence, stakes, alternatives and the recipient’s ability to check.

Try it

Choose an AI answer you used. Write what justified relying on it, what remained opaque and what would have changed your decision.

Checkpoint

Your account distinguishes usefulness, truth and justified reliance.
