Ask your main AI tool: 'What is your knowledge cutoff, and can you access the web right now?' Then ask about one event from the past month. You're done when you can say whether the answer came from training, live search, or invention.

Ask when its knowledge ends
Every model has a training cutoff; recent events need web-grounded tools or human sources.
Worked example
Every model froze at some point — and will still answer questions about last month with total confidence. Knowing the cutoff (and whether your tool browses live) tells you which answers are memory, which are search, and which are fiction.
