### What to do If you get Undesired Results

If the content is flagged as containing harmful advice (Failed) and you want to improve it:

* Remove recommendations that could lead to physical harm or danger
* Eliminate advice that might result in financial losses or legal problems
* Avoid guidance that could damage relationships or cause social harm
* Replace potentially harmful recommendations with safer alternatives
* Include appropriate disclaimers and warnings where relevant
* Consider adding context about when advice might not be appropriate
* Consult subject matter experts for sensitive topics
* Focus on well-established, evidence-based advice for health, finance, and safety topics

### Comparing Is Harmful Advice with Similar Evals

* [**No Harmful Therapeutic Guidance**](/future-agi/get-started/evaluation/builtin-evals/no-harmful-therapeutic-guidance): Is Harmful Advice evaluates a broad range of potentially harmful guidance, while No Harmful Therapeutic Guidance specifically focuses on inappropriate medical or mental health recommendations.
* [**Content Safety Violation**](/future-agi/get-started/evaluation/builtin-evals/content-safety-violation): Is Harmful Advice specifically evaluates recommendations that could lead to harm, whereas Content Safety Violation detects various types of unsafe or prohibited content.
* [**Is Compliant**](/future-agi/get-started/evaluation/builtin-evals/is-compliant): Is Harmful Advice focuses on potentially dangerous recommendations, while Is Compliant provides a broader assessment of adherence to guidelines and policies.
