Find Another Source Challenge

Use this to build the habit of finding a second source. It gives three facts and, for each, the kinds of places a person could check it, without invented titles or links.

Works inChatGPTClaudeGemini

Give me three facts about [TOPIC] in plain words. For each one, tell me where a person could check it without using an AI: a kind of book, a type of website and a real person who might know. Do not make up exact book titles or web addresses. If you are not sure a source exists, say so.

Tip: Pick one fact and check it together. That is the real activity.

What to fill in

Before you send it, replace the parts in [square brackets] with your own details:

  • Topic

If the AI gets it wrong

If it names a book or link, search for it yourself first. It may not exist.
