Advisor not aware of stack size?
I noticed often the advisor says to "raise but be cautious" with a large amount on the flop or the turn, but the result is it puts all my chips in so I'm basically going all in. Not sure what I can possibly be cautious about after going all in since after that point everything is out of my control...?
So it made me wonder if the advisor is aware of the stack size of the player. Also surely if he is, he should be saying something more on the lines of 'I recommend you go all in with this one" rather than advising raising.

They are aware of stack sizes in their raises, but they won't always say something that makes a lot of sense. As you can imagine, getting a computer to give a reason why it is doing something when it is considering nearly 50 factors is pretty challenging. So sometimes it will say something that doesn't seem to make a lot of sense because like here the primary decision factor (I'm guessing...) wasn't the chip size for it - but to a human, it's clearly obvious there isn't any caution in proceeding because it is all-in.
These are the types of conditions that drive us crazy - we are constantly adding in new "ifs" for the textual advice to take into account bizarre situations that lead to unusual sounding advice.
Ok I see, yes it would be good to add the all in detection in their text speech.
