Beginner rule: Use AI to slow down, ask better questions, and organize information. Do not use it as the only source for money, health, legal, or safety decisions.
Simple meaning
A source link is a link to where information came from, such as an official page, article, or report.
Real-life example
An AI answer may cite a page, but the page may not say exactly what the AI claims.
Why this matters
Beginners often hear this word inside AI tools, news stories, warnings, and product pages. A simple definition helps you make safer decisions without needing technical background.

“Check these source links and tell me which ones seem official, current, and relevant to the answer.”
Common beginner mistake
The common mistake is treating the word as more complicated than it is. Learn the simple meaning first, then ask AI or a trusted person to explain any risky part in more detail.
Safety note
A source link does not automatically prove the answer. Open it and check whether it really supports the claim.
