ChatGPT Isn’t Wrong — Your Prompts Are. The One Method That Turns AI Into a Truth-Checked Research Machine

Why Speed-Drunk Prompts Create Confident Nonsense (and the One Fix That Changes Everything)

The Lie Isn’t the Problem. Your Speed Addiction Is.

Let me tell you an uncomfortable truth.

Most people don’t want accuracy from AI.
They want dopamine.

You want speed.
You want instant clarity.
You want the “give me the answer NOW” hit.

So you push ChatGPT like a racehorse:

• “Give me 20k words instantly.”
• “Don’t ask questions, just produce.”
• “One go. No time wasting.”

And then you’re surprised when it trips at full speed and faceplants into hallucination territory.

Here’s the thing:

AI isn’t lying to you.
You’re incentivizing it to lie.

When you push for speed, you disable accuracy.
When you force volume, you silence reasoning.
When you reject clarification, you remove the brakes.

This article is the cure.
