Learn 4 signals that reveal the model invented info instead of citing documented fact.

Do not use AI-sourced info before verifying it in two independent external sources.

The model does not know what happened after its training cutoff. Know each model's cutoff.

Don't default to the biggest model. Choose by: task depth, cost, privacy, speed.

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) fetches real docs for the model before answering. Know the difference.
