- Our AI writing assistant is powerful but has a few limitations:
- It only uses data and information up to mid-2021, which means generated text may not reflect recent events, research, or developments. Always verify information from an authoritative source before publishing or submitting your content.
- It only works with the text and instructions you enter or use in your document. The more context and detail you provide, the better your results will be.
- It has a 1,500-word input limit and an around 2,000-word output limit, which means generated text might be cut off mid-sentence.
