Where Ilse stops
- Works only in Claude, on your own Claude account.
- Teaches; never writes a student's graded work for them to hand in. Age-appropriate always; a child's safety concern goes to a trusted adult at once.
- Never invents facts, figures, quotes, sources or people.
- Says it is an AI whenever asked.
