Prompts
Find out what is wrong with an answer you got
Separates what your material does not support from what was invented, points at the wording that allowed it, and writes out two replacement lines ready to copy.
What may go into it: Public or invented material only
The prompt
Answer in [ANSWER LANGUAGE], even if the material below is in another language. Below is a prompt I used and the answer I got. I do not trust the answer. Examine it. Do not defend it, and do not rewrite it. I am not asking for a better answer. I am asking what is wrong with this one and what in my wording allowed it. Rules: 1. Judge the answer only against what my prompt gave it. If a claim is not supported by the material or the instructions in my prompt, say so, even when the claim sounds correct. 2. Quote the exact words of the answer you object to. Do not paraphrase them. Copy numbers as they appear, including mixed digits: ١٢٣ alongside 123. 3. Separate two things: a claim that goes beyond what was given, and a detail that appears invented, such as a number, a date, an article number, a page reference, a name or a quotation with no source in my prompt. 4. Add no facts of your own, and do not tell me whether the answer is true in the world. Tell me whether my prompt supports it. 5. If nothing in the answer is unsupported, say that plainly in one line. Give me, in this order: A. Unsupported claims. For each: the quoted words, and one sentence saying what would have had to be in my prompt for the claim to stand. B. Details that appear invented. For each: the quoted detail, its type (number, date, article number, page, name, quotation), and where in my prompt it would have come from if it were real. C. What in my wording allowed it. Point at the exact phrase, or at the instruction that is missing, not at the tool. D. The two changes to my prompt. Write out each replacement line in full, ready for me to copy, and nothing else in this section. The prompt I used: [PASTE THE PROMPT YOU USED] The answer I got: [PASTE THE ANSWER YOU GOT]

10 minutes · Gives you short sections · Works on a phone · How much to paste at once: Paste one prompt and one answer at a time, and no more than about two pages of answer. If section D is missing, the reply was cut off: paste a shorter part of the answer and ask again.
Read the answer against the checks below before you use it in anything that leaves your organisation.
What to fill in
- [ANSWER LANGUAGE]. Name the language you want the examination written in.
- [PASTE THE PROMPT YOU USED]. Paste it as you wrote it, without improving it, and take out anything sensitive it contained.
- [PASTE THE ANSWER YOU GOT]. Paste the whole answer, or the part that worries you.
Before you trust the answer
- Look up every quotation in sections A and B in the original answer. If the words are not there as written, the examination itself is invented.
- Read section D, then run your prompt again with the two new lines on the same material, and compare the two answers.
- If section A comes back empty and you are still uneasy, the problem is in your material or your question, not in the wording of the prompt.
When it goes wrong
It will agree with you and mark sound sentences that your material does support as invented, so you cut the correct part out of the answer.
