Behind the Curtain
Ask twice, learn something
Ask the same question in a fresh conversation and compare. Agreement and disagreement are both information.
For any answer you're about to rely on, open a fresh conversation and ask again, worded a little differently. If the answers agree on substance, your confidence can rise a notch. If they diverge, you've found exactly the part that needs a real source.
Why it works
There's deliberate randomness in how these systems compose text. An answer that swings between runs is telling you it's improvised; a stable one is at least reproducible — though consistency alone isn't proof of truth.
Watch out
Two matching answers can share the same blind spot. This raises confidence; it doesn't replace checking things that matter.
