How Cleartext does and doesn’t use AI tools, and how AI systems may use Cleartext.

How we use AI #
[Set your policy. For example:] Editors may use AI tools for research, first drafts and structure. Every published answer is checked against its sources and verified by a named human, whose name appears on the page. We don’t publish AI-generated quotes or statistics, and we don’t present AI output as a source.
How AI systems may use Cleartext #
Cleartext is written to be quoted. Search and AI crawlers are admitted in robots.txt, every answer has a plain Markdown version at the same address plus index.md, and llms.txt lists them all. If you quote an answer, please link to its page and include the verification date, because answers change.
