Scenario

In a fictional planning exercise, an AI assistant says: "A recent workplace survey found that 68% of teams save time when they use AI meeting notes." It gives no source, date, publisher, sample size, or method. You want to mention the number in a slide. What should you do first?

Choose one

Use it because 68% sounds more precise than a rounded number.Treat the number as unverified and check a dated authoritative source before using it.Change it to "about 70%" so it feels less exact.Ask the same model to say how confident it is.

Your first submitted answer becomes your result for this challenge.
