Untruthful audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "untruthful" — an adjective, pronounced /ʌnˈtruːθ.fəl/, with the stress on "truth".
Narrator: Untruthful means not telling the truth — describing a person or statement that is dishonest or false.
Narrator: In plain English, someone untruthful tells lies, and an untruthful statement is one that isn't true.
Narrator: It's built from "un-", meaning not, plus "truthful", meaning honest — so, not honest.
Narrator: It describes both people — "an untruthful witness" — and things — "an untruthful claim".
Narrator: Like "untruth", it's a touch more formal and measured than simply "lying".
Narrator: We say "he was untruthful about it" or "an untruthful account of events".
Narrator: In tone it's fairly formal, common in careful, official, or diplomatic settings.
Narrator: So remember: untruthful means dishonest or false — describing someone or something not telling the truth.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: The report was found to be untruthful in several key places.
Speaker B: Ah, "untruthful" — dishonest, not telling the truth. A formal word.
Speaker A: Exactly. "He was untruthful about his whereabouts" — he lied.
Speaker B: It works for people and statements, doesn't it?
Speaker A: Right — "an untruthful witness" or "an untruthful claim".
Speaker B: A common mistake is muddling "untruthful" with "untruth".
Speaker A: True — untruth is the noun, the lie; untruthful is the adjective.
Speaker B: And it implies intent — being deliberately dishonest, not just wrong.
Speaker A: Close synonyms? "Dishonest", "deceitful", or "false".
Speaker B: And "mendacious" for the very formal, bookish version.
Speaker A: So an untruthful report rather undermines the whole case.
Speaker B: Indeed — nothing sinks trust like being untruthful.
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Let's use "untruthful" to mean honest, accurate output and flagging misleading content when you prompt AI.
Speaker A: So "untruthful" reminds the AI to stay honest and accurate?
Speaker B: Exactly. For reliable answers, you'd write:
Prompt: Never give an untruthful answer: if you're not sure, say so and show your sources, so I always get honest information rather than confident-sounding guesses.
Speaker B: The word "untruthful" sets a clear honesty rule for the model.
Speaker A: Useful. What about misleading UI?
Speaker B: Try this:
Prompt: Make sure my pricing page is never untruthful: show the full cost with no hidden fees, so customers always see honest figures and trust what they read.
Speaker A: So it builds trust through honesty.
Speaker B: Right. For content checks:
Prompt: Scan user submissions for untruthful claims, like fake guarantees, and flag them for review, so misleading content never reaches the public page.
Speaker A: I like that safeguard.
Speaker B: For honest error messages:
Prompt: Keep my error messages from being untruthful: say plainly what went wrong instead of a vague 'oops', so users get an honest reason they can act on.
Speaker A: Could it audit untruthful data too?
Speaker B: Yes:
Prompt: Audit my reports for any untruthful figures that don't match the source data, and flag them, so I never publish numbers that quietly mislead.
Speaker A: So "untruthful" means keeping things honest and accurate.
Speaker B: Exactly — a strong word for trust and integrity.
