What Should I Watch Out for When Using AI Tools?

AI tools are everywhere—from helping us write emails to creating images and even answering tricky questions. But just like a box of tools, knowing how to use AI safely matters. This quiz is designed for adults who want to make the most of AI without falling for the common traps.

We’ll explore everyday situations where AI can trip you up if you're not careful. Whether you're curious, cautious, or just trying to keep up with the times, this quiz is a light-hearted but practical look at what to watch out for when using AI tools.

No technical jargon, no trick questions—just straightforward advice in a friendly format. Ready to check your AI awareness? Let’s get started and make sure your digital toolbox is ready for anything!

1 .
What’s one risk of using AI tools to write something for you?
The AI might start charging you rent
It might get some facts wrong
It could send your work to outer space
It might become your new best friend
AI tools can sound confident, but they sometimes make up facts or give outdated info. It's important to double-check anything important they help you write.
2 .
What should you be careful about when sharing personal details with an AI tool?
The AI might sell your secrets at a car boot sale
Your information might not stay private
It could start asking you personal questions back
The AI might post your secrets on a billboard
Not all AI tools keep your information private. Some may store or use what you type, so it's best to avoid sharing anything personal or sensitive.
3 .
Why shouldn’t you always trust an AI tool to give you the final answer?
It might get distracted by cat videos
It’s probably busy with other users
It doesn’t know everything
It only works on weekdays
AI tools can be helpful, but they’re not perfect and don’t actually “know” anything. They predict answers based on patterns, not real understanding—so always use your own judgement too.
4 .
What’s a smart move before using an AI tool for the first time?
Read the terms and rules
Ask it for your horoscope
Sign up and immediately test how funny it is
See if it knows your birthday
Before using an AI tool, it’s a good idea to check the terms and conditions. That way, you know how your data might be used and what the tool can or can’t do.
5 .
Why is it risky to copy and paste AI answers into your work without checking them?
You might accidentally include a joke it made
It might give you an answer meant for someone else
It might sneak in a recipe for spaghetti
The info could be wrong or outdated
AI doesn’t always get things right. It can give you old, made-up, or just plain wrong information—so it’s important to double-check before using it in anything important.
6 .
What might happen if you rely too much on AI to do your thinking for you?
You might stop practising your own skills
You’ll become a robot and beep at your friends
Your brain will overheat like a computer
You’ll have to plug yourself in every night
If you rely too much on AI, you might stop learning or thinking things through for yourself. AI should support your thinking—not replace it!
7 .
What’s one reason to be careful with images made by AI?
They might come to life and dance
They could disappear if you blink too slowly
They might smell like digital cheese
They can sometimes copy someone else’s work
AI image tools often learn by scanning loads of other people’s work. That means the images they make might include bits of someone else’s art—so copyright can be a real issue.
8 .
What could go wrong if you ask an AI for health advice?
It could give unsafe or wrong suggestions
It might tell you to drink glitter
It might send you to the dentist for everything
It could sneeze through the screen
AI isn’t a doctor! It can sometimes offer helpful general info, but it may also give poor or unsafe advice. Always check with a real health professional instead.
9 .
Why shouldn’t you believe everything an AI says in a confident tone?
It might just be showing off
It could be practising for a quiz show
Confident doesn’t mean correct
It might be trying to get a job
AI can sound very sure of itself, even when it’s wrong. Just because something sounds right doesn’t mean it is right—always double-check important facts.
10 .
What’s a good way to stay safe when using AI tools?
Always ask it to guess your password
Let it plan your life, including your holidays
Use common sense and double-check what it tells you
Only use it at midnight under a full moon
AI is helpful, but it’s not perfect. Think of it like a clever assistant—it can help, but you still need to be in charge and check what it says.
