Your AI personality type: The Skeptic
You fact-check everything, prefer sources to confidence, and keep the AI honest.
You have never taken an AI answer at face value, and you are not about to start. A confident paragraph without a source reads to you like a warning label, so you ask where a claim came from, open the link, and compare the quote to the original. Colleagues send you AI drafts before they send them anywhere else. You use AI plenty; you just treat it as a very fast research assistant whose work still needs checking, which is exactly what it is.
Your blind spot is throughput. Verifying everything means some tasks take longer than doing them by hand, and you can dismiss a genuinely useful draft because one detail was wrong. What frustrates you most about AI is fabricated certainty: invented citations, made-up quotes, and the smooth tone that hides them. You also sometimes forget that the same rigor you apply to the model would catch plenty of mistakes in the human sources it learned from.
Your ideal ChatUp setup: default to Claude, which is more willing to say it is unsure than to bluff, and switch to Gemini when you want an answer that leans on checkable sources. The Research Assistant is built for structured, cited digging, the News Reporter gives you the who, what, and when before the opinion, and the Lawyer assistant helps you read fine print with the caution it deserves. Use AI Research for questions that need several sources and File Assistant to check a claim against the original document.
Your strengths with AI
- Catching invented facts, fake citations, and numbers that do not add up
- Writing prompts that ask for sources, confidence levels, and counterarguments
- Comparing two models' answers and noticing where they quietly disagree
- Knowing which tasks are safe to delegate and which need a human read
Watch out for
- Spending longer verifying a draft than it would have taken to write it
- Throwing out a useful answer because one detail was off
- Forgetting that human sources need the same scrutiny as AI ones
Prompts to start with
Fact-check this text. For each claim, say whether it is well supported, disputed, or unverifiable, and tell me what kind of source would settle it: [paste text]
Give me the strongest case for and against [claim], then tell me which points you are least confident about and why.
Here is a document and a summary of it. List every place the summary adds, drops, or changes something: [paste document and summary]
Before answering, list what you would need to know to answer [question] well, then answer, marking any guess as a guess.
Replace anything in [brackets], paste it into ChatUp, and pick the model that fits.
Frequently asked questions
- Which AI model hallucinates the least?
- None are immune. Claude is often noted for flagging uncertainty instead of bluffing, and Gemini leans on sources for research questions. Whichever you use, verify names, numbers, and quotes before relying on them.
- How do I get sources from an AI?
- Ask for them explicitly and ask the model to mark anything it cannot source. Then open the links. In ChatUp, AI Research is designed for questions where you want the working shown.
- Is it wrong to trust an AI answer without checking?
- For a dinner idea, no. For anything you will repeat, publish, spend money on, or sign, check it. Match the rigor to the stakes.
