SESSION 5 · CHAT LIKE A PRO

True or Made Up?

Find out what a hallucination is and why it sounds exactly like the truth, play a game where each of you tries to fool the other with a fact Claude invented on purpose, and finish by checking something real together.

The big idea

Claude can be confidently wrong. It reconstructs an answer that looks right rather than looking one up, so an invented fact arrives in exactly the same steady voice as a true one. That is a hallucination — and you are the boss, so the checking is your job.

What the two of you do
  1. Rebuilding, not looking up
  2. What a hallucination looks like
  3. You are the boss
  4. Great at this, check that
  5. 6 prompt cards to run on the grown-up's account, and the Which of these would you check? game
And what you keep
Save your six facts into the Memory Box project with the invented ones circled and the tell written beside each, plus who caught whom and the final score. Title it 'Session 5 — the day we fooled each other', and add the forwarded message you checked along with what you found out.
The bonding moment

Fool the Family

Mechanic: vote then reveal. The step-by-step — who says what, in what order — comes with the full camp.

What you will both know afterwards
  • Claude rebuilds answers; it does not look them up in a drawer.
  • A hallucination arrives in the same confident voice as the truth.
  • Numbers, quotes, links and named people are the check-first list.
  • 'Are you sure?' is not verification — going outside the chat is.
  • When the words come from you, the risk is low.
  • You are the boss, and the checking is the boss's job.

This session is part of the full camp.

Sessions 2 to 15 come with the camp — the full text, every prompt card, the bonding moment written out step by step, the game, the grown-up corner, and the Memory Box save that ends each one. Price: $119 once (about ₹10,300), or free if your child already takes 1:1 classes with us.

There is no login on this site to hide it behind and no checkout to click — you message Manisha, she sends you the camp.
