A surveyor’s plat-book assistant answers property-line questions with no footnote. What trust practice should the office require?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Property-line answers with no footnote fail transparency. Require retrieval-augmented, source-grounded replies with citations so users can check the claims. Restating the RAG definition, rebuilding ingest, and “be accurate” in the prompt do not put a source on the reply.
Full Explanation
Used as a trust practice, retrieval-augmented generation connects answers to authoritative sources so users can check claims. A plat-book assistant that gives bare boundary answers fails that transparency duty. Restating a definition, rebuilding ingest, or adding “be accurate” to a prompt does not put a citable source on the reply.
