Judgment

What you should not outsource to a model

Some work can be drafted by an assistant. Some work should stay with you.

Secrets and personal data

Passwords, API keys, unpublished financials, health records, and other people’s private data do not belong in a casual prompt. Follow the law and your workplace rules.

Legal, medical, and financial advice

A fluent answer is not professional advice. Official regulators and licensed practitioners are the authority, not a chat window.

Unverified facts and citations

If a statement needs to be true in public, open a source. Models can invent references that look complete.

Final blame

If you publish, ship, or sign something, your name is on it. Use the assistant to prepare; keep the decision.

This is general practical guidance, not legal advice.
