Beginner rule: Use AI as a helper for drafts, checklists, and explanations. Do not treat it as a final authority for money, health, legal, or safety decisions.

Short answer

A chatbot source is a page, document, or reference the chatbot points to for information.

Step-by-step

Common beginner mistake

Do not memorize terms without examples. The useful part is knowing what the word means in real life.
