If a piece of the model's answer is genuinely useful, quote it and say why. "I checked with Claude and this part lines up:" works great.

It still drives me nuts when my boss does that. Especially since the next thing he sends is a bunch of AI-generated code he just wants us to copy and paste into our application. He treats anything the magic AI says as authoritative, and it overrides anything an actual person can say to him.
