i was wondering at the language there. I read it as it came through. I was going to post the amended rules as a comment, but it looks like you've already got there. definitely, the partial and wholly LLM-generated is an important clarification. I'd like to give SFWA some leeway here-- I don't expect them to write rules like contract lawyers, and I'm glad the issue was quickly amended so that only human-created works pass nomination.
I'm wondering though, are nominated authors going to be disqualified for using google? Search results are automatically fed by an LLM, after all, unless you specifically depreciate -ai results in each instance.
It appears SFWA is already working to address the issue of search engines and similar LLM usage. I wouldn't be surprised is there's added language soon covering that.

Well, the cool thing about this is that they heard from the members and responded! Thanks for posting about this!
Agreed. And thanks for the kind words.
