I grew up around people who were confidently incorrect, so when someone provides answers that are provably false without equivocating, it causes me to devalue everything else they say. That mistrust seems only logical to me, because a person who is unfalteringly confident provides no outward sign of how trustworthy each statement is, meaning all their pronouncements should be viewed skeptically.

My recent experiences with AI chatbots are littered with such experiences. So, here are a few responses I'd like to see that would help me to trust them more:

• There's not enough information out there for me to draw a strong conclusion about that.
• I don't have high confidence in this answer, so please verify it with alternate sources.
• This line of questioning is beyond my expertise, meaning any implementation of my advice could cause real harm, so I'd prefer not to answer.
• If you're planning to use this answer in a professional capacity, be aware that it could cause real problems, because I'm not an expert in this field and can't vouch for the relevance of my citations.
• Sorry, but I really don't know. Would you like me to suggest some terms for a web search on the topic?

Do others have similar experiences with this technology? Is there a better way to resolve the confidently incorrect problem?
