Fifty messages from four inboxes isn't enough

Would you trust an AI's answer if it only looked at a sample of your inboxes?

My co-host Nico Lafakis put it to the test on Monday's show. Connect four or five email accounts, ask a question, and if it comes back having sniffed out 40 or 50 messages, "I'm starting to not trust it." Those are his example numbers, not a measured result.

His fix: "why don't we do the due diligence." Ask it "Why don't you go through the rest of them then" so you can make sure the answer is what you think it is. He says that's usually his first response.

A habit worth borrowing the next time an assistant gives you a confident answer from a slice of your mail.
