    This policy position feels necessary, considering how thoroughly reviewed GAI output can be indistinguishable from human work product- otherwise, what would an outright ban on GAI use here look like, and how would it even be enforced?

    Also, I am somewhat moved by this example[1] of GAI's beneficial applications on Wikipedia: image generation for "presenting rendition for subjects that can't simply be captured", like for Burdian's Ass[2]. Many pages for abstract ideas could benefit an apt visual representation.

      I think it's not so much a policy position as an attempt at clarifying the scope, so that people don't get the wrong idea and expect the impossible (banning it entirely, which is unenforceable).
