Description
An AI handed me a confident $67.4 billion stat with a source attached, and it was completely fake.

My whole life and business runs through one local folder and Claude, and I do not trust a single AI's built-in web search to tell me what's true. This video shows the method that caught a fabricated number while I was researching this exact video. My research agent, Pax, asks the same question twice through two independent engines, Perplexity and Brave, and I watch where they disagree. Where they agree, I trust it. Where they disagree, that is the red flag, and that is where I dig deeper. The confident answer is not the same as the correct answer.
