The big idea
AI is solid at credit-score basics, but specific scoring formulas are secret, so anyone (or any AI) claiming exact rules is bluffing.
Some examples
- Prompt: 'List 5 common credit score myths and the truth.'
- Ask AI how being an authorized user on a parent's card helps a teen.
- Have AI explain the difference between FICO and VantageScore.
Try it!
Ask AI: 'Does checking my own credit hurt my score?' Get the right answer (no — it's a soft pull).
