Tools are allowed. Surrendering judgment is not.

AI-assisted systems may support research organization, editing, coding, translation, continuity, design exploration, and production. They are treated as tools—not authorities, witnesses, or substitutes for responsibility.

Nothing is more dangerous

nothing and believes everything.
