There I was, eating my green beans, running the same question through Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini, thinking I was doing thorough research.
I wasn't.
I repeated an AI-generated "fact" to a potential colleague. She stopped me: "That's not true."
She was right.
The irony? I've spent 10+ years in measurement, verification, and reporting.
My job has always been to question claims, not repeat them.
LLMs are excellent at synthesizing information. But in niche domains, they can infer conclusions from related public data that sound right without actually being true.
Lesson: If you're building trust through data, AI should speed up your workflow, not replace your due diligence.
Don't confuse confidence with evidence.
