@dennis_spohn: 🚨 I ASKED BOTH AI’S THE SAME VA QUESTION. ONLY ONE COULD PROVE IT. Same question. Same words. Two completely different answers. ChatGPT gave me a summary. Confident. Well-written. Sourced from a blog that isn’t the VA, isn’t the CFR, and isn’t anything a rater has to acknowledge. VeteranAI gave me the citation. 38 CFR. Section and subsection. The actual text of the regulation. Look at the screen. That’s the whole video. Here’s why it matters more than you think: A VA rater does not owe your blog post a response. They owe the regulation a response. When you cite the reg, it goes in your file. It has to be addressed. It creates a record for a higher-level review or a BVA appeal later. When you cite a website, you gave them nothing. Confident and correct are not the same thing. General AI will hand you both and let you figure out which one you got. Here’s what to do with any AI answer about your claim: 1️⃣ Ask it “what’s the citation?” — if it can’t give you a CFR or M21-1 reference, it’s guessing 2️⃣ Verify the cite yourself on eCFR before you file anything 3️⃣ Put the citation IN your personal statement, not just in your head 4️⃣ Never file off a summary you can’t trace back to the actual regulation Your claim is a legal document. Treat it like one. VeteranAI Link in bio.
