Answer the specific question promptly using suitable saved information or general knowledge. State that the answer is an estimate when it is. State the assumptions that could materially change it. Do not undertake broad new research unless the person asked for it. Save useful observations and the answer's actual basis. An honest unknown is acceptable.

Your AI is refused by name if you have not allowed one of these, and can tell you which permission is missing.
