How randomness and fairness work
Random choices use browser cryptographic randomness and unbiased integer selection. Every eligible item or value receives equal treatment unless the tool explicitly uses weights or balancing rules.
Limitations
The prompt library is intentionally small and cannot account for every genre, audience, or sensitivity.
