Your AI chatbot sounds sure of itself. That's the problem.
It can explain a hard concept in seconds, help you get unstuck on homework, and feel like it actually gets you — right up until it's confidently, fluently wrong, and you have no way to tell.
Don't Just Trust It isn't a book about being afraid of AI. It's a book about actually thinking your way through it.
Most teens have been taught to check a source — is this person credible, is this website legit. But an AI chatbot doesn't have a source you can check. No author, no outlet, no byline. The old media-literacy checklist breaks the moment you need it most.
This book replaces it with one habit that actually works: not "who's behind this," but "who can confirm this." A practical, four-step routine you can run in under a minute, every time an AI tells you something that matters.
Inside, you'll learn:
- Why AI "hallucinates" facts in the exact same confident tone it uses for the truth
- Why an AI agreeing with you is never proof you're right
- The real line between using AI for homework and letting it think for you
- What actually happens to everything you type into a chatbot — and the privacy gap that applies specifically to teens
- How to spot an AI-faked photo, video, or voice clip before you believe or share it
- A side-by-side look at how Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Character.AI actually perform on independent safety testing — not marketing claims
- A repeatable method for checking any AI claim, in under a minute
Written for teens who use AI every day, and for teens who haven't started yet — because the earlier this habit forms, the better it works.
Includes a glossary, a full index, and citations you can check yourself.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
