Specific figures Names, dates and places Citations and references Current information Anything obscure Arithmetic
WHAT TO DO

WHAT NOT TO DO

IF IT REPEATS THE ERROR
Start a new conversation. The wrong information is in the context and influences everything after it.

Correct it promptly and note the correction.
Then check whether other content produced the same way has similar errors.
THE PREVENTION
Verify in proportion to consequence.
Every fact, figure, name and citation you will publish.
