The premise

Misinformation correction is hard; doing it without amplification matters.

What AI does well here

Correct in private when possible
Use 'truth sandwich' format (truth-correction-truth)
Avoid quoting the misinformation prominently
Engage with empathy, not contempt

Misinformation correction practice

Design practices for correcting misinformation effectively. Cover: (1) private vs public correction, (2) truth sandwich format, (3) avoiding amplification, (4) empathetic engagement, (5) limits and energy management, (6) systemic engagement beyond individual correction.

Check-in 1. Got it so far?

What AI cannot do

Correct every piece of misinformation
Convince true believers through facts alone
Eliminate misinformation through correction

Energy management matters

Correcting misinformation is exhausting. Pick battles. Protect your wellbeing. Systemic solutions matter more than individual heroics.
