We don't currently explicitly mention the use of LLM for the process itself,
but we have recently added the following to make it clear that we want
applicants to own their answers:

"...keep in mind that I would like to have a conversation with you: if you
quote content not directly written by you, please make sure it is correctly
attributed, and that the sources are mentioned."

If any red flags arise, the AM will try to have an honest conversation with=
 the
applicant about it, and of course this may negatively affect their applicat=
ion.

Admittedly, we don't have a documented policy on it, but the above is my
understanding based on experience and also from our BoF discussion during D=
C25.

Bests,
