        "text": "The biggest risks are being misquoted, partially summarized, or cited in contexts you didn’t anticipate, not being “penalized” for being cited.\n\nAI answers compress and paraphrase; inaccuracies usually come from models oversimplifying or mixing multiple sources, which can distort nuance or disclaimers.\n\nKey factors:\n- Complex or sensitive topics are more vulnerable to harmful oversimplification.\n- Weak context or buried caveats make it harder for AI to preserve your intent.\n- Outdated content can be cited in ways that mislead users.\n- You currently have limited control over how or when your brand is mentioned.\n\nMitigate risk by updating critical pages frequently, stating key caveats and conditions clearly up top, and tracking how AIs describe you so you can adjust content.\nThink of your pages as training material—write in a way that makes your intended meaning unmistakable when compressed.",

        "description": "Yes, AI citations can backfire if models oversimplify or misinterpret your content, especially on sensitive or outdated topics. Reduce risk by keeping key pages current, stating caveats and conditions clearly, and periodically checking how AI systems describe and use your information."
