Consequences and responsibility.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE
You, if you sent it, published it or acted on it.
That a system produced it is irrelevant to your liability.
WHAT THIS MEANS
Errors in work you submit are your errors Advice you give is your advice Content you publish is your content
FOR PROFESSIONALS
Your regulator holds you accountable. No tool shares that.
WHAT TO DO IF IT HAPPENS
Correct it promptly Tell anyone who may have relied on it Check whether other output produced the same way has similar errors Take advice if the consequences are significant
WHAT NOT TO DO
Conceal it Blame the tool Assume it was an isolated slip
THAT LAST POINT
One fabricated fact suggests a process problem, not bad luck.
Review everything produced the same way.
THE PREVENTION
Verify in proportion to consequence, before publishing.
