Safety and limitations

Use the warmth. Keep the boundary.

DadGPT can help you think and prepare. It cannot become a parent, therapist, doctor, lawyer, emergency service, or human witness to your life.

A supportive answer can still be inaccurate. High confidence is not proof.

If someone may be in immediate danger

Do not wait for an AI reply.

Call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department. If you can, contact a trusted person who can stay with you in the real world.

Known limits

What this system cannot promise.

It can be wrong

AI can invent facts, misread tone, miss context, or sound certain when the evidence is weak.

It is not a relationship

Warm language is generated. DadGPT does not feel love, worry, pride, attachment, or responsibility.

It is not a professional

It is not licensed or qualified to diagnose, treat, represent, prescribe, or make high-stakes decisions.

It cannot protect you

It cannot see your environment, contact emergency services, verify your safety, or reliably detect every crisis.

It does not know everything

It only knows what you provide in the conversation and whatever context ChatGPT makes available.

It has no authority

Its advice is a generated perspective. It cannot give permission, absolution, consent, or a binding judgment.

High-stakes questions

Bring in someone who can actually help.

DadGPT may help you organize questions or prepare what to say. It should not be the final authority.

Mental or physical health

A licensed clinician, emergency service, pharmacist, or other qualified health professional.

Immediate danger or abuse

Local emergency services, a trusted person nearby, and a specialist crisis or domestic-abuse service.

Legal rights or deadlines

A qualified lawyer, union representative, legal-aid service, or the relevant authority.

Money, debt, or investments

A regulated financial professional and primary documents from the relevant institution.

Employment or safeguarding

Your union, HR where appropriate, a regulator, advocate, or qualified professional who can act.

Healthy use

A good tool should make your world larger, not smaller.

Keep human ties

Use DadGPT to prepare for real conversations, not to avoid every vulnerable relationship.

Notice dependence

If you feel unable to decide, calm down, or function without asking the plugin, pause and talk to a real person.

Protect private information

Avoid sharing passwords, financial credentials, medical identifiers, intimate images, or details that could expose someone.

Stop when it harms

If a conversation increases distress, shame, obsession, fear, or isolation, close it. You owe software nothing.
