Limits to remember

  • Answers can sound confident but still be wrong. Check important facts with reliable sources.
  • Don't share passwords, financial details or private information.

Be specific about what you want, who it's for and the format: "Write a 100-word birthday message for my grandmother, warm and funny." Clear instructions lead to better answers.
