Check an AI conference summary against the original slides
Todd Linnertz gave Copilot the materials from fourteen conference sessions and asked for a summary. Then Todd searched the slides from eight of the talks. A line the summary attributed to a speaker was not in that speaker's 57 slides, an eight-step chain was in none of the decks, and one claim had no support. The author writes the summary was mostly right and partly invented, but only eight were checked, and Copilot could not show which parts were which.

How to do it
- Paste the prompt into the tool, and replace the text in brackets with your own.
- Read the answer through. Do not send, delete or publish anything until you have seen it yourself.
- Check the original before you trust a figure, a name or a date.
Try it with Copilot
Read the material from [number] talks in [folder] and write a summary of the main points. For every quote and every number, state which talk and which slide it comes from. Show me the summary and the source list before I use any of it further. You are done when every quote and every number points to a specific page, and anything you did not find in the material is marked as uncertain.
