- No guarantees of outcomes — we do not guarantee that using the Service will result in any particular outcome, improvement, or achievement
We continuously work to improve the quality and safety of our AI features, but we cannot guarantee that all responses will be accurate, helpful, or appropriate for your specific situation.
