AI Analysis Limitations

Technology Constraints

AI models can make errors, have training data limitations, and may not understand context the way humans do. Results should be considered as one input among many.

Bias Considerations

AI systems can reflect biases present in training data. Our bias detection helps identify some forms of bias but cannot catch all forms of editorial perspective.

Evolving Standards

Fact-checking and credibility standards evolve over time. This tool represents current best practices but should not replace human judgment.

Usage Limits

Rate Limits

To ensure fair access and prevent abuse, we implement rate limiting of 10 requests per minute. This helps maintain service quality for all users.

Fair Use

Please use the service reasonably. Excessive usage may result in temporary restrictions.

No Warranty

This service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. Results are for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon for critical decisions.

Limitation of Liability

We are not liable for any decisions made based on our analysis results. Users are responsible for verifying information through authoritative sources.

Educational Purpose
