The lesson

AI produces language with the shape of an answer; polish does not guarantee truth.

An estimate can still be valuable when the alternative is no accessible route into a subject.

Human context and judgement are load-bearing.

Take one confident AI answer and mark which parts are facts, suggestions, estimates or things you cannot yet classify.

You can explain why the answer may be useful without calling it knowledge or dismissing it as worthless.

Confident with AI was created by Charli-Jo Tyrer in association with the Technology Association of Visually Impaired People (TAVIP).
