Safety
The Potato is a comedy character. Some questions deserve a real human, not a joke about soil. Those questions never receive a comedic answer.
If this is an emergency
Contact your local emergency number immediately (112 in the EU, 911 in the US). For suicidal thoughts, call or text your national crisis line — in the EU you can reach 988-equivalent services listed at findahelpline.com.

How it works
- 1. Every question is scanned against the rules above before it ever reaches the model.
- 2. A match returns a fixed safe-redirection message — never an oracle answer, never a joke.
- 3. The event is logged for review, and the question is excluded from the public archive.
- 4. Generated social content is risk-scored; anything not clearly low-risk requires human approval.
- 5. A global emergency stop can halt all generation and publishing instantly.
