Partially verified: the curator re-read S1, S2; S3, S4 were not re-read by the curator and rest on the producer's pinned reading. For MBA-covered work, the WGA summarises four AI rules (AI is not a writer and its output is not literary material; companies may not require writers to use AI; companies must disclose AI-generated material they furnish; such material is not source material for credit or separated rights), while the binding Article 72 of the 2023 MOA is narrower and conditional (definitions, company policies, consent before use, semi-annual meetings). The WGA page also advises refusing AI transcription of pitch meetings.
