Your AI will lie to you — confidently. Not out of malice, but because of how it works: it predicts plausible words, and when it doesn’t know, it bluffs in the same certain voice. After nearly putting a fabricated statistic in front of her leadership team, Lakesha breaks down why AI hallucinates, how to catch it in the moment, and exactly what to do when it happens — so you get the speed of AI without ever staking your name on a lie.
In this episode:
Why AI sounds most confident exactly when it might be wrong — confidence is not accuracy
The Verify Reflex: the one line that decides what to fact-check and what to let flow
Ask for the receipt — and why you have to click the source, because AI fakes those too
Three fast tells you’re being hallucinated at, plus the re-ask that gets a confession
The hard line for health, money, legal, and safety — AI is a starting point, never the final word
AFTER spotlight: Reliability — AI is fluent, not factual; build verification into how you use it
Copy-paste prompts inside: Lower the Bluffing · Ask for the Receipt · The Confidence Check
This week’s action: Catch one. Ask for a source and click it; ask "are you sure?" and watch.
