These tools are prone to specific issues that violate our policies:

hallucinations: they often invent false information and cite non-existent references.
unencyclopedic tone: they tend to be vague, promotional, or essay-like, rather than neutral and factual.
copyright issues: they may closely paraphrase existing text, leading to copyright violations.

Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject.
