What's at stake when you take the first answer
The more we let a machine do the reading, the less we practice checking.
Millions of people ask the same few machines and get the same few answers. Whoever runs those machines decides what they say and what they leave out.
Control what people believe and you never have to force anybody. You can shape what they buy, who they trust and how they vote, and they'll think it was their idea.
It won't look like a lie. It will look like the answer.
Protect your mind by learning healthier research habits.
Each question shows something a person asked an AI and what it answered.
You dig in with research moves, then make the call: it checks out, or it's made up, mirrored, sold, steered or expired.
Three rounds. Eighteen questions. About 20 minutes. No clock, and your progress saves.
Each question shows what someone asked an AI in the red bubble, and what the AI answered in the blue bubble. It looks like this:
Read both. Ask yourself: does anything feel off? Where did this come from? Could it have changed? Who would gain if I believed it?
Pick up to 2 Research Moves. Each one shows you a finding, the kind of thing you'd learn if you checked it yourself.
You can't use all five, so think about which checks fit the question.
Choose one of six calls for what's going on with the answer. You can make the call anytime, even before you dig.
Forget one? Tap What do these mean on any question to see this list again.
After each call, the game shows you what was going on, which move cracked it, and one habit to keep.
🧾 Right call, backed by the right research: 3 receipts
🟡 Right call, without the research to prove it: 2 receipts
❌ Wrong call: 0 receipts
Each round has 6 questions and 18 receipts. Share your score after every round.
Some answers are fine. Checking is different from doubting everything.

The habit
- Ask for the receipts. Open what it cites. If the link is dead or says something else, so does the answer.
- Ask it straight. Neutral wording, a fresh chat, then the opposite question. Compare.
- Follow the money. Who built the tool, who sponsors the answer, what it's selling.
- Check the date. True last year can be wrong today.
- Go straight to the source. The agency, the record, the study itself, the person who said it.
