I used to find it weird how many people would make an excel formula on data they couldn't intuitively check. Like even basic level 'what percentage increase is a8 from a7' - they enter a formula then don't know if it's correct. I always wrote formulas on numbers I can reason with. If a8 is 120, and a7 is 100 you can immediately tell if you've gone wrong. Then you change for 1,387 and 1,252 and know it's going to be accurate.

People do the same with AI, ask it about something they know little about then assume it is correct, rather than checking their ideas with known values or concepts they might be able to error check.
