The TV credits manual and procedures guide give process and definitions, with no AI wording. The WGA AI page (updated 18 December 2025) states the credit rule: unpublished GAI material is neither assigned nor source material and can't defeat separated rights. Read the manual for process, and the AI page and MOA for AI.
