Doesn't matter. Cats do whatever they want to do anyway.
Here's a post Panzer found at The Author Guild site about publishers, writers and AI use.
 
This post has a section on AI use detectors.
 
Panzer says, "This little kitty is still confused: Is Spell Checker in Word considered AI use?  Is Find and Replace AI use?"
 
Note: This is a long post. You'll need to decide what you want to bring to snack on.
