Off the Data Rails

In this worksheet, students evaluate AI responses that completely misunderstand the user’s prompt-sometimes humorously, sometimes worryingly. For each scenario, learners label the AI’s reply as helpful, unhelpful, or needing human help. They then rewrite the response to model what a helpful answer should look like. This activity strengthens students’ ability to detect mismatched tone, irrelevant information, or inaccurate reasoning in AI-generated messages. It also builds skills in revising text for clarity, empathy, and purpose. Students develop critical thinking as they compare flawed AI answers with improved human-guided rewrites.
