Beginner rule: Use AI as a helper for drafts, checklists, and explanations. Do not treat it as a final authority for money, health, legal, or safety decisions.

Short answer

Do not trust a news claim only because it is written clearly or appears in a screenshot. Check more than one reliable source.

Why this matters

AI can summarize real news, but it can also invent details, mix stories, or help people create fake posts.

Step-by-step

Search the headline, check the date, look for named sources, and compare with established news outlets or official announcements.

Try this prompt

Check this news claim for me. List what is confirmed, what is uncertain, and what sources I should look for.”

Common beginner mistake

Do not let urgency decide for you. A message can sound official and still be fake.

Safety note

Never share passwords, verification codes, bank details, or private documents because of one message or call.

What to do next

Use the 10-second scam check before clicking, replying, paying, or sharing.
