Fixed.

I’ve revised this in the latest draft to read:

“The use of automated systems, such as large language models and 
AI-based tools, to generate all or part of the content of a document, 
paper, presentation, or other submission to the IRTF must be documented 
and credited such that it is clear what parts were generated with input 
from the automated system. Using such tools without credit is considered 
a misrepresentation of authorship (automated systems that make spelling, 
stylistic, or grammar corrections, or that translate between languages, 
are exempted from this disclosure requirement).”

Does that address the concern?

Cheers,
Colin
