✨ A Soft Start
AI doesn’t know what’s true.
It knows what’s likely.
That’s a subtle but powerful difference—
and learning to navigate it is part of your creative responsibility.
This lesson is about discernment—how to stay curious, but grounded.
How to let AI inspire you… without letting it mislead you.
🧭 What AI Knows—and What It Doesn’t
AI is trained on vast data—books, conversations, websites.
But it doesn’t understand truth.
It doesn’t know context.
And it has biases baked into the data it was trained on.
So when it gives you information:
- Don’t assume it’s accurate
- Don’t assume it’s fair
- Don’t assume it’s neutral
You are the filter.
You are the compass.
🧠 Trust Through Questioning
Ask things like:
- “Where did you get this information?”
- “Is there more than one perspective on this?”
- “Could this response reflect bias?”
- “What might someone with a different lived experience say?”
Use AI to expand your perspective, not narrow it.
And always, always:
bring your own values to the table.
💡 Try This
Ask AI about a topic that matters to you. Something personal, cultural, or philosophical.
Then follow up with:
- “Give me multiple points of view.”
- “What are the ethical considerations here?”
- “How could this advice be harmful if misunderstood?”
- “Offer this again, but from a more compassionate lens.”
You’re not rejecting what it gives you.
You’re refining it.
Let AI sharpen your integrity—not shake it.
💭 Parting Thought
Trust isn’t blind belief.
It’s built through dialogue.
It deepens through discernment.
You don’t need AI to be perfect.
You just need to stay connected to what’s true for you.
