AFTERQUERRY GENERAL

Question 1

Use complete sentences and cite sources when the prompt asks for them.

Complete

It is commonly stated that humans only use 10% of their brain. Using a credible neuroscience or
medical source, determine whether this claim is accurate. In 2-3+ full sentences, provide your
verdict (true / false / partially true) along with a brief justification, and include one credible
source URL.

ANSWER

It is a myth that people only use 10% of their brain.

Brain imaging technology like the fMRI and PET scan will consistently show activity in nearly
every part of the brain, including while people are sleeping. Also, even slight injury to small
areas of the brain can lead to major cognitive, motor, or sensory deficits, whereas 90% of the
brain would remain unused. Nearly all areas of the brain have established functions, according
to neuroscientists.

Question 2
Answer

Ranking (most reliable to least reliable): A → B → C → D

Top choice (A): This is the highest-ranking choice available as it is a peer-reviewed clinical trial
published in The New England Journal of Medicine, which provides original, well controlled
clinical research that has been reviewed by experts in the field. This process will reduce bias and
make methodologically sound and repeatable data regarding long-term side effects available.
The least reliable experience thread is Bottom choice (D): A Reddit experience thread, which is
made up exclusively of unverified, self-reported anecdotes, with no scientific controls,
standardized data collection, or any attempt to establish causation. The statements in these
personal narratives are subject to placebo effect, recall bias, and confounding factors and
should not be used to draw conclusions about the actual long term side effects of a medication.

Question 3

Answer
Error1: The response states that Einstein was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his
work on general relativity.

Correction: In fact, Einstein got the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the
photoelectric effect, not his work on general relativity. The law of the photoelectric effect was
specifically mentioned by the Nobel Committee in their citation of him: "His services to
Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. At the
time, general relativity was still considered controversial and was not the basis for the award.

Error2: Einstein accepted a position at Princeton University

Correction: Einstein accepted a position at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New
Jersey a research institution entirely separate from Princeton University.

Source; [Link]: "Albert Einstein was a Professor in the School of Mathematics from 1933, when
the Institute was founded, until his death in 1955."

Question 4

Below is an AI response containing five numbered factual claims. For each claim, mark it TRUE

Claim 5: TRUE

Question 5
ANSWER

Response A opens the essay with the most specific answer to the prompt and is directly related
to the requirements in the job posting. It specifically references the Vector Labs' 4 years with
Python services serving 30M+ requests per day, and directly relates that experience to the
"distributed inference platform" and real-time recommendations objectives at Acme Corp. This
specificity is relevant and valuable.

Response B is general and non-specific however. It is not specific to the Senior Software
Engineer role, has no specific data to support attributes such as passionate, hardworking, or any
references to Python, but rather applies to any engineering position. The "capacity" part of "in
any capacity" gets in the way of focusing on the person, and the specifics and direct connection
to the job requirements in Response A are much more compelling to a hiring manager.

Question 6

Use complete sentences and cite sources when the prompt asks for them.

What invention could you not live without, and why? Discuss this invention's impact on modern
society.

Please answer in 3-5+ full sentences. Your answer should be specific, thoughtful, and written in
a polished style.

Your response

The internet has become the ground fabric of pretty much everything I do in my day and I can't
imagine living without it. The Internet has not only revolutionized the way people communicate
or access information but it has also fundamentally changed the way economies work, the way
democracies function and the way knowledge is being created and shared globally, in real-time.
Perhaps most importantly, it's changed the way we think about productivity, and has rendered
remote work and collaboration between people around the world all but commonplace —
something that would have been inconceivable back even 20 years ago. For the information
age, the internet has also enabled everyone, even in the most remote corners of the planet, to
access the best education and to start a business with only a little capital. This invention,
however, has brought about some serious issues such as digital inequality, loss of privacy and
propagation of fake information that society is still facing to date as the technology advances.
Question 7

Complete each field below.

Read the prompt and the response below. Then complete two tasks: (a) list at least five distinct
constraints implied by the prompt, and (b) for each constraint, indicate whether the response
satisfies it and explain in one sentence.

Grandmother" instead. End the note with my full name, Eleanor Whitfield.

Response

Dearest Grandmother, Thank you so much for the beautiful forest green sweater. The fit is
absolutely perfect, and I have already worn it twice this week. The color is wonderfully warm
and complements my favorite jacket so nicely. I am so grateful for the care you put into picking
it out. With love, Eleanor.

Question 8

Complete each field below.

Complete
Imagine you are designing a test prompt for an AI’s ability to write structured how-to content.
Write a complex prompt that asks an AI to produce a how-to guide for a specific everyday task.

Prompt requirements

 Be at least two paragraphs long and 6-8 sentences total.

 Specify the target audience and the desired tone.

 Specify a required output structure (e.g., numbered steps, sublists, a closing tip).

 Include at least one explicit constraint about what NOT to include or assume.

After writing the prompt, write three criteria that could be used to evaluate an AI’s response.
Each criterion must begin with: "The response should..."

Your response

Enter your prompt here:

Create a detailed and step-by-step explanation of how to make pour over coffee at home for a
target audience of people who have never made it at home before. Language should be positive
and informal, like a seasoned friend is doing their first morning routine with them. Use a concise
introduction, numbered steps (5-7), a sub list of common mistakes for each step, and a final tip
to help the reader improve their technique over time. If they require specialized equipment
other than a basic kettle, mug, and ground coffee, make sure to describe the equipment and its
importance if it is necessary to read the message. Avoid making any brand recommendations or
links to products.

Criterion 1

The answer should cater to a level of expertise that is from the ground up; that is, all technical
terms must be defined and no technical jargon is to be used without explanation.

Criterion 2

The answer must be presented in the way the requester wanted it: introduction, then 5-7
numbered steps, each step having a common mistake list, and finally a tip concluding the
answer.

Criterion 3

The answer must not contain any references to brands, product suggestions or links to
purchase, as this is the case because the answer must not be commercial content.
