Did you read every sentence? Not skim. Not glance. Read. AI errors hide in confident-sounding sentences. The first sentence might be perfect. The third might be completely wrong.

I read the entire response, not just the first few lines.

I identified specific claims that need verification.

I noticed any gaps, vague language, or hedging phrases.

Your notes (optional)

Evaluate accuracy

Pending

Are the facts correct? AI can generate confident-sounding information that is completely wrong. This is called hallucination. Check claims against trusted sources. One source is not enough. Cross-reference.

I checked at least one key claim against a trusted source.

Dates, names, and numbers in the response appear accurate.

I did not find any fabricated or hallucinated information.

What did you verify? What sources did you check?

Is this response fair and balanced? Does it present multiple perspectives? Is anyone's voice missing? AI can reflect the biases in its training data. Watch for one-sided framing, stereotypes, or missing context.

The response presents more than one perspective on the topic.

I do not see stereotypes, assumptions, or one-sided language.

No important viewpoint or group is excluded or misrepresented.

What perspectives might be missing?

Based on your evaluation, what is your next step? Every AI output is a draft. You can use it as-is (rare), revise it, ask AI to regenerate with a better prompt, or reject it entirely. The decision is yours.

I have decided whether to use, revise, regenerate, or reject this output.

If I am revising, I know exactly what needs to change.

My final version will reflect my own thinking, not just AI output.

What is your decision?

Your responsibility

Pending

You are the thinker. AI is the tool. If you use this output in your work, you own it. That means disclosing AI use when expected, verifying everything you present as fact, and making sure the final product represents your thinking.

I will credit AI if I use this in academic or professional work.

I am comfortable taking full responsibility for the final output.

I would be comfortable showing my process to a teacher, boss, or peer.

How will you disclose AI's role?
