Replace “AI can make mistakes” with the specific uncertainty

A returns assistant updates the customer.

Name the specific uncertainty, not a general warning.

Weak version: Generic disclaimer — **Weak**Promises the refund and hides the real risk behind a boilerplate line.

Strong version: Generic disclaimer — **Strong**States exactly what is unconfirmed and what to do.

How to apply it

Point to the exact part that might be wrong, where it appears.
Say what the person can do to check it.
Drop the warning where there's nothing specific to flag.

Where it breaks

When legal asks to add the boilerplate back on top.
