Output Accuracy
Generative Pre-Trained Transformers (like TritonGPT) are trained to generate the next best word in the sentence based on patterns in their training data set. They are neither trained to nor capable of discerning fact from fiction, truth from falsehoods. We do not guarantee that the information provided is always accurate, complete, or up-to-date. We rely on data and information from various sources, and there may be instances where the information is incomplete, outdated, or incorrect, or TritonGPT does not retrieve information from the appropriate source. Do not make critical decisions based solely on information provided through TritonGPT.
Ultimately, you are responsible for verifying the accuracy and appropriateness of the output before you use it. If you have any doubts or concerns about the accuracy of the information provided, please let us know by providing feedback through TritonGPT, and we will do our best to verify it. Administrators review the feedback and use it to help shape the direction of the service. Knowingly providing misleading feedback could result in termination of the service.
You may not submit TritonGPT output as your own work for any form of academic credit unless the instructor has authorized such use. In that case, we recommend keeping a record of your chat history should your instructor ask you for it.
