A policy would be nice, just not sure how enforceable it would be. How 
do you differentiate between the parrot that is AI and one that is 
human? I run across all manner of blog posts where folks have lifted 
content from the documentation or other sources without attribution, 
which is basically what AI generated content is. AI does like to 
embellish and make things up(ask the NYC lawyer suing the airlines about 
that), though that is a human trait as well.
