This can help mitigate the probability of hallucinations (nonsensical or inaccurate AI outputs), but there is always the possibility the AI may misinterpret a question or fail to extract the correct context. Accuracy may also vary depending on the topic. We encourage you to refer back to the full text to verify answers, and in many cases our AI Assistant will point you to the specific paragraphs from which an answer was obtained.<br><br>If you have any additional questions, please reach out to us at <a href=\"mailto:support@papersapp.com\">ReadCube Support<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-wistia-inc wp-block-embed-wistia-inc\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"AI Assistant -
