3. Content
You may provide input to the Services ("Input"), and receive output generated by third-party Artificial intelligence and machine learning Services and returned by the Services based on the Input ("Output").

We may use Content from Services to help develop and improve our Services.
Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of our Services may in some situations result in incorrect Output that does not accurately reflect real people, places, or facts.
