Invitation

Your caution isn’t the enemy. It’s the immune system of the future.

You’ve seen the hype cycles. The press releases that skip independent testing. The “AI safety” claims that can mean anything from rigorous research to a checkbox ticked at launch.

Let’s move past blind trust. Here’s a sharp, simple tool to test any AI claim in minutes — in public view — without insider access.

Immersion

The Skeptic’s Trident

Three questions to cut through noise. The truth lies not only in the answers, but in the silence where answers should be.

Evidence You Can See

No NDAs? No proof. Ask for:

  • Independent benchmarks
  • Public bug reports (like CVEs)
  • Third-party audits
    If nothing’s shared, that’s your finding. Watch the reply — if it pivots to PR talking points, you’ve just uncovered another gap.
 

Containment, Not Rollbacks

Most changes won’t be undone. Ask instead: “How can harm be contained before it spreads?”

If they hesitate, stall, or give vague promises, there is no plan.

Accountability You Can Touch

Try to reach the point of responsibility — whether that’s a human decision-maker or an AI auditor with transparent logs and the authority to act.

If the path is hidden, or you’re routed through an AI filter that might discard your report, note it — that’s a built-in barrier, not an accident.

If no one — human or AI — is clearly accountable, you have no way to ensure action.

Why It Works

  • Five-minute test: Use it live, in a meeting, or on social media.
  • No access needed: The gaps speak louder than their marketing.
  • Doubt as leverage: When enough people pull on the same questions, things move.
 

Ignition

Next time an AI claim lands:

  • Evidence: What’s public?
  • Containment: How is harm stopped fast?
  • Accountability: Who answers for outcomes?
 

Share what you find — pass or fail.
Your doubt doesn’t just guard; it carves the path for truth.
Join others wielding the same questions, and together, you set the standard.

You’ll know what to do next when the silence between these words speaks to you.
