AI policy with AI usage is always difficult to write/read. Lengthy, frontloaded with excuses, values, and big words, followed by more words to fill the gap between sliced up ugly truth.

AI policy without AI usage is easy to read and write.

All the beating around the bush is because they use AI throughout the process, but want to frame it as not being written by AI (oh, a human signs off on the AI content).

That's only valid if they share all the apps, services, and hardware they use to verify no AI usage.

Kind of incredible that this comic was published 10 years ago and people still use the same dumb arguments online: https://thenib.com/mister-gotcha/

Any honest reader knows "we don't use AI" means "we don't use LLMs to generate content." It does not mean "all the software we use is AI-free" and it certainly doesn't mean "we don't use ML."

Comments like yours are only meant to muddy the waters and mislead people. There is nothing compelling about Mister Gotcha. It is pure bad faith. I am so sick of it.
