13.1 Nature of AI Output
13.1 Nature of AI Output
Chariot’s outputs are generated using large-scale language and vision models, including but not limited to those developed by OpenAI and other third-party providers. These models operate on probabilistic algorithms, meaning that responses may:
Vary across sessions even for identical prompts;
Include hallucinations (confident but incorrect statements);
Reflect incomplete, outdated, or contextually mismatched information;
Lack real-world verification or factual consistency.
The AI does not possess consciousness, memory, or intent, and cannot independently validate the truth of its responses. Any use of outputs for legal, safety, diagnostic, financial, or decision-making purposes is at your sole risk. Chariot expressly disclaims any liability for harm, misinterpretation, or losses resulting from reliance on AI-generated content.
Users must treat all AI responses as informational, experimental, and non-authoritative.
13.2 No Guaranteed Accuracy

13.16 Image Limits and Contextual Ambiguity
13.16 Image Limits and Contextual Ambiguity
Chariot’s AI vision systems analyze uploaded images using probabilistic models that may:
Interpret Partial Data: Only certain regions, patterns, or elements of an image may be detected or analyzed.
Miss Context: The AI may misinterpret lighting, angles, reflections, occlusions, or background elements, especially in outdoor, blurry, or crowded images.
Overlook Subtle Damage: Cracks, warps, leaks, corrosion, and other mechanical wear may not be detected unless clearly visible and in standard presentation.
Accordingly:
No Guarantee of Full Analysis: AI outputs should not be treated as comprehensive or professional assessments.
Supplement with Other Inputs: Users are strongly advised to pair image uploads with VINs, descriptions, or document inputs for broader context.
No Substitution for Inspection: These image-based results serve as first-pass or suggestive evaluations only. They are not a replacement for hands-on inspections by certified professionals.
You acknowledge and accept that the AI’s interpretation of visual data is inherently limited, non-diagnostic, and subject to significant error without full environmental context.
13.17 Composite Output Risk
13.17 Composite Output Risk
Chariot’s full reports often aggregate multiple forms of analysis, including VIN decoding, photo evaluation, document parsing, and chat-based AI insight. These rely on separate model calls and may result in:
Inconsistencies Across Sections: Different AI components may interpret the same data differently or apply separate standards, resulting in internal contradictions or overlapping flags.
Conflicting Recommendations: Risk summaries may not align perfectly with valuation guidance or visual condition estimates.
Layered Dependencies: Some outputs may be based on inferred data from earlier sections, amplifying minor input errors.
Accordingly:
No Output is Independently Guaranteed: All sections are subject to probabilistic variance and should be reviewed as components of a larger informational snapshot—not definitive truth.
User Discretion Required: It is your responsibility to interpret the full report with caution, context awareness, and supplemental verification.
Chariot disclaims liability for reliance on any single portion of a report without considering the broader context or potential inconsistencies among AI-generated sections.
