How we use AI

AI writes. Rules rate. Checks run on both.

What AI does in PreOpen, what it never does, and how we check its work.

What AI does

Every page AI writes says so, and every story names and links its sources.

What AI never does

How it is checked

We call our checks the Guardian. They run all day, every day.

Its limits

AI can misread a source, or get a figure or a date wrong, and checks catch most mistakes but not all of them. When one gets through, we correct it in the open: see Corrections.

Ask answers in seconds. Its figures are checked by code as it writes, but an answer can still be wrong, so treat it as a starting point and check what matters on the pages it links.
