Bring in one AI headline

📋 Copy this into any AI chatbot
Please suggest three real UK news headlines from this week about AI that are pitched at either alarming or reassuring. Do not tell me which is which — I want to work it out from what the underlying article actually says.
Find one AI headline from any UK news source this week and bring it in. Write two sentences: one saying whether it is a Myth or a Reality by the standard we used today, one saying what evidence the article did or did not give.
AI useOptional. If you use an AI you can ask it to find recent UK AI headlines. Any of Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini is fine.
If no AI or internetYou can use a physical newspaper or a school-provided printout.
Bring backOne printed or handwritten headline plus two sentences.
Stay safeNever share your name, school or address with the AI. If the headline covers something you find worrying, talk to a trusted adult.
