There Are No Lossless Transformations of Natural-Language Text

An engineering manager publishes her internal policy on acceptable use of AI for writing and makes the case in under a page. The core rule is that you must stand behind every idea and every sentence in anything you publish, and the title's point is that every rewrite by a model loses information because the model does not hold the mental representation of what you personally were trying to say. It is the shortest and clearest statement of why AI-edited text needs a human pass that this library carries, and it works as a syllabus paragraph or a departmental policy you can adapt.
