IANAL, but AFAIK you can't disclaim liability that you actually have. I'd love to hear an actual lawyer who knows (not a know-it-all amateur) declaim on this, but:

A Ferris Wheel operator cannot make you sign a disclaimer that they're not responsible if it collapses and kills you. Or rather, they can, but it will not hold up in court.

Similarly, you can say in your manual, "We're not responsible for anything we say here" but you still are.

I don't know about chatbots, but I'd expect that judges will look for other precedents that are analogous.
