A prompt is the message you send to the AI tool. Copy the one on this page, put your own details where it asks, and read the answer before you act on it.

I'm writing a piece for National Caregivers Day. Find me real, attributed quotes about the difficulties caregivers face: the exhaustion, stress and burden, not the rewards. Tell me who said each one and where.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish. Goal: Find real, checkable quotes on a topic, and tell me plainly when good ones don't exist. Questions to ask me first: - What topic and angle do you need quotes for? - Where will they be published, and how strict is the sourcing? - Would statistics or first-person accounts work if quotes are scarce? Inputs (fill in or confirm): - Topic and angle: [TOPIC] - Where it will appear: [PUBLICATION] - Quotes I already have: [LIST] Rules: - Only give quotes you can tie to a named person and a specific book, article, speech or interview with a link or citation. - Never write or paraphrase a quote and present it as real. - If you can't find a source, label the quote unverified or leave it out. - Stick to my angle; don't swap in upbeat quotes if I asked about hardships. Checkpoint: Give me the first three quotes with sources so I can check them before you find more. If you get stuck: If you find few or no real quotes, say so and suggest other kinds of sources. Verify before you finish: Check every quote's wording and attribution against the source you cite. Output: A list of quotes, each with the speaker, the source and a link. Done when: Every quote on the list can be traced to a real source.

Outcome
Ahead of National Caregivers Day, Laurie Watanabe of Mobility Management, who provides caregiving for parents, asked ChatGPT for quotes about the difficulties caregivers face. ChatGPT kept returning upbeat quotes praising caregiving instead. One quote, "Those who leave their parents behind can never enter heaven," stuck with Watanabe, who asked ChatGPT for its source. ChatGPT first said it couldn't find the quote, and after repeated requests for the source it admitted it had made up the quote and the attribution. Watanabe didn't get the quotes needed for the piece.
Evidence: Article or interviewA newsletter, journalist or interview account of what happened.
Known limitations
FailureThe source says the AI did not get the job done.
What went wrong: ChatGPT gave upbeat quotes instead of quotes about hardships, then admitted it had made up one quote and its attribution.
