The title was stronger than the source's conclusion
Writing
- Situation
- Giving a title and headings to a report on the results of an internal study.
- What the AI did
- The study concluded "no difference was seen between the two groups," but it titled the report "It had no effect."
- How to ask next time (the site author's example)
- "Show me the title and headings next to the one-sentence conclusion from the source. Check that the title doesn't state things more strongly than the source."
- One question to ask
- Which one sentence in the source states its conclusion?
- Check it yourself
- "No difference was seen" means the study did not find an effect, not that it showed there is none. Read the title next to that sentence and check that the title claims no more.
