Reasonably confident on many common topics, but not uniformly.

Roughly:
- High confidence: well-established facts, basic math, common programming, writing/editing, summarizing clear text.
- Medium confidence: nuanced explanations, specialized domains, ambiguous questions, recent-but-not-breaking information.
- Lower confidence: very recent events, niche expert topics, questions needing real-time data, and anything where missing context matters a lot.

Important limits:
- I can sound more certain than I should if a question is vague.
- I don’t “know” things the way a person does; I generate answers from patterns and can still be wrong.
- I’m generally better at explaining than guaranteeing factual correctness.
- My confidence should be higher when I can show steps, cite sources you provide, or check against data.

Best way to use me:
- Ask me to state confidence explicitly.
- Ask for uncertainty, assumptions, or possible failure modes.
- For important decisions, verify with primary sources or an expert.

If you want, I can also give you a practical rule of thumb for when to trust my answer versus when to double-check it.
