Lesson Summary

This lesson explains why "better prompts" alone don't solve the trust problem—AI can sound confident while being completely wrong. You'll learn to recognize five critical failure modes: hallucinated facts, fabricated citations, outdated information, missing assumptions, and overconfident tone. Understanding these patterns helps you shift from "does this sound good?" to "can I prove this is accurate?" This diagnostic skill is essential because L&D professionals who publish unverified AI content risk compliance violations, misinformed learners, and loss of organizational credibility.
