An AI application may retrieve documents and then use a model to compose a response from them. The retrieval step selects material; the generation step produces wording using the supplied context.

A retrieved source does not guarantee that every sentence accurately reflects it. Check whether the cited page supports the particular claim, and distinguish information from the source from an inference added in the answer.

Open important references and read the relevant passage in context. The combination can be useful, but each stage has its own possible gaps. Understanding the difference helps explain why an answer with links still needs a check.

Bring the idea into a day.

A relevant search result and a generated conclusion are separate objects. Keeping the source visible helps a reviewer examine the connection between them.

Another angle on the story.

Give review a specific responsibility. Checking a source, testing an instruction, and editing a sentence are different jobs and may need different evidence.
A few starting points
  1. Distinguish retrieval from composition.
  2. Check support for each important claim.
  3. Identify inferences added beyond the source.
