AI-use information

Authors should clearly disclose if they have used any AI tools, including any text or image generators, in a statement that comes in with the original submission and again with the revision if that use has changed in some way. The disclosure should specify the type of AI tool used, the model name and date of use, and its purpose. AI tools should not be listed as co-authors. This information may be published with the article in full or abbreviated format as we work to preseve good writing and transparent AI use.
