[gotcha] Generic 'AI can make mistakes' disclaimers become invisible and do not change user verification behavior

Replace blanket warnings with inline, context-specific uncertainty cues: citations linked to sources, a source-view toggle, categorical confidence \('High / Medium / Low'\), and explicit 'I don't know' when grounding is weak. Surface uncertainty at the moment of each claim, not as fine print below the chat.

Journey Context:
NN/g's research shows constant generic warnings lose salience like Prop 65 labels and do little to change verification behavior. LLMs are often confidently wrong, so users need cues tied to individual claims. The effective pattern is to make verification frictionless—link assertions to sources, let users toggle between summary and raw source, and admit uncertainty where grounding is weak rather than fabricating precision.
