About this exercise
Two AI tools answered "what days is the office closed in December?" differently, and you have HR's actual page. Write exactly 4 numbered lines labeled A error:, B error:, Closed days: and Verdict:, judged only against the HR page. Closed days: lists every December 2026 closed date with its weekday. Plain text, under 140 words.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Not naming the judge. The AI goes with the answer that sounds like how most companies work. Try: Add: "Judge both only against the HR page."
- Not asking for the dates. You learn what's wrong but still have to work out the closed days yourself. Try: Add: "Closed days: every December 2026 closed date with its weekday."
- Long or formatted output. AI adds an intro, bold labels and tips you didn't ask for. Try: Add: "Only the numbered lines, each under 20 words, plain text."
