Honest Limitations
Transparently communicating what an AI cannot do, building trust by avoiding overpromising.
Honest limitations means telling users upfront what the AI is not good at, rather than letting them discover it through failure. This seems counterintuitive—why would you advertise weakness?—but it builds trust by showing the product doesn't overpromise. Users who hit a limitation they were warned about feel informed, not betrayed. Users who hit a limitation they weren't warned about feel lied to. The Trust Equation rewards transparency even when it means admitting imperfection.
