How do we feel about something along these lines:

Generative AI and AI-Assisted Technologies for Scientific Writing
Please note, this policy specifically addresses the writing process and does not apply to the use of AI tools for data analysis or drawing insights from research data.
When generative AI and AI-assisted technologies are used in the writing process, they should be limited to improving readability, language clarity, and editing. These tools may assist in refinement but should not be used for substantial text generation.
Their use must always be under human supervision, and the final manuscript should be thoroughly reviewed and edited. Ultimately, authors are fully responsible for the content and accuracy of their work.
Authors are required to disclose the use of any generative AI or AI-assisted tools in their manuscript, with a clear statement included in the published work.

Generative AI and AI-Assisted Tools for Figures, Images, and Artwork
Generative AI and AI-assisted tools are not permitted to create or alter images in submitted manuscripts, including tasks such as enhancing, obscuring, moving, or removing features in images or figures. Basic adjustments like brightness, contrast, and color balance are acceptable only if they do not obscure or remove important information.
An exception is made if AI or AI-assisted tools are part of the research design or methods, such as in fields like biomedical imaging. In this case, authors must describe the use of AI in the methods section, providing a clear and reproducible explanation of how the tools were applied. Authors should also include details like the model, version, and manufacturer of the tools used. Additionally, pre-AI versions of images or raw data may be requested for editorial review.

I have tagged us all here, to read this.

Ultimately, authors are fully responsible for the content and accuracy of their work.

I'm so glad that this is present! It is 100% in line with how I've used AI for text writing -- abstracting the process of writing away, ultimately, if I claim the text to be authored by me, I will need to be able to defend every last character in there.
