Guess first, no penalty. An AI answer says: "Delivery riders in your city earn $18 an hour." It shows no source. How sure can you be?
An AI app writes words that are likely to come next. A made-up date or phone number looks just as neat as a true one. So the tone tells you nothing.
Check these every time: numbers, dates, names, contact details like links and phone numbers, and rules like laws or visa rules. Some apps show links to their sources. That helps, but open the link and check it says the same thing.
