Don't Just Trust It (Paperback)

Paperback. Your AI chatbot sounds sure of itself. That's the problem.It can explain a hard concept in seconds, help you get unstuck on homework, and feel like it actually gets you - right up until it's confidently, fluently wrong, and you have no way to tell.Don't Just Trust It isn't a book about being afraid of AI. It's a book about actually thinking your way through it.Most teens have been taught to check a source - is this person credible, is this website legit. But an AI chatbot doesn't have a source you can check. No author, no outlet, no byline. The old media-literacy checklist breaks the moment you need it most.This book replaces it with one habit that actually works: not "who's behind this," but "who can confirm this." A practical, four-step routine you can run in under a minute, every time an AI tells you something that matters.Inside, you'll learn: Why AI "hallucinates" facts in the exact same confident tone it uses for the truthWhy an AI agreeing with you is never proof you're rightThe real line between using AI for homework and letting it think for youWhat actually happens to everything you type into a chatbot - and the privacy gap that applies specifically to teensHow to spot an AI-faked photo, video, or voice clip before you believe or share itA side-by-side look at how Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Character.AI actually perform on independent safety testing - not marketing claimsA repeatable method for checking any AI claim, in under a minuteWritten for teens who use AI every day, and for teens who haven't started yet - because the earlier this habit forms, the better it works.Includes a glossary, a full index, and citations you can check yourself.
