6. Understanding AI Technology

Here’s what you need to know about using AI for research:

Fastory uses advanced AI and large language models to assist with research writing. While our technology is powerful, it’s important to understand its nature:

  • AI Can Make Mistakes: Like all AI systems, ours can occasionally produce errors, inaccuracies, or incomplete information. This is an inherent characteristic of current AI technology.
  • Always Verify: You should review and verify all AI-generated content, especially citations and references, before using it in your work.
  • Professional Judgment: AI is a tool to assist you, not replace professional academic judgment. Your expertise and review are essential.
  • No Guarantees: While we strive for accuracy, we can’t guarantee that AI suggestions will be error-free or suitable for your specific needs.

Think of Fastory as a highly capable research assistant—helpful and knowledgeable, but you’re still the expert in charge.
