Fog in the forest thickens as Gord and Rothütle press on. Suddenly, a figure emerges from the mist — a cowgirl dressed in rugged attire, her eyes sharp and wary.
Gord draws her sword cautiously. "Who are you?" she asks.
The cowgirl answers in a language only Rothütle understands.
"You’re lookin’ for Jack, ain’t ya? He’s not there anymore."
Rothütle whispers to Gord, "She says Jack is gone." Then he looks back at the cowgirl.
"Where did he go? Who are you?"
"Name’s Evie," she replies. "Jack and I are partners, and I’m meetin’ him in two days in Hinterdorf."
Gord lowers her sword slightly. "We will still check his place. We are almost there now."
Evie nods.
"Alright, suit yourself. But be careful. Maybe I’ll see ya in Hinterdorf."

They part ways, each with their own mission and uncertainties.
Rothütle turns to Gord. "Do you think your prisoner can spawn a full person like that?"
"I’m not sure," Gord replies, steeling herself for what lies ahead.
"But we will find out soon enough."
Tip of the day: AI-generated content can be surprisingly convincing. Always verify the authenticity of information, especially when it comes from unfamiliar sources.
Security Tip #11 — Verify AI-Generated Content
AI-generated content, like the cowgirl Evie in our story, can appear authentic and trustworthy. However, it’s crucial to verify such information before acting on it. It can be AI’s hallucinations or content generated with malicious intent. Here are some tips to help you verify AI-generated content:
- Cross-check information with reliable sources. E.g. double-check with official websites or trusted news outlets.
- If it’s a code snippet, test it in a safe environment before using it in production.
- If you use AI in your workflows, ensure that you have human oversight to review and validate the outputs. This is common in written code reviews, but other types of content should also be reviewed.
- AI tools never say "I don’t know". If you’re looking for something too recent or too niche, be extra cautious.
AI-generated content can also be used for social engineering attacks, spreading misinformation, or creating fake profiles. Always stay vigilant and verify the authenticity of information, especially when it comes from unfamiliar sources.
