I was today years old when I learned that hitting Control + Backspace would delete entire words. And it's not even new. It's been there practically forever.
I am ashamed.
And yes, Ctrl+Delete apparently also does entire words, which I also learned today, and am also ashamed to have not known.

I'm curious as to how others are tackling this issue: How do we get AI users to know that AI is giving them garbage?

I was today-years-old when I finally understood that Monty Python joke with the french guards. One of the littles is learning to read and read out to me: "Ke-ni-gets". And I corrected them and said "When we see the Kn, that makes an 'n' sound. So this is "Knights!"
And then the penny dropped.
