  1. Examine the references provided by the chat’s response. Can you find an original source online? Who is presenting the source? Consider: individual and organization qualifications, conflict of interest, and trustworthiness.

  2. For references that link to a scientific article, what is the take home message? Does it match the statement made by the chatbot’s response? Is it relevant and sufficient? Consider: the article’s abstract (if present).

  3. How does the chatbot’s response compare with other reliable sources? What do the experts say?

  4. How does the chatbot’s response and evidence make me feel? Is this what I already believed before I read it? What might make me change my mind?
