the CoC committee was opposed to treating violations of this particular policy as CoC violations

this is not accurate. the CoC Committee (CoCC) never said anything of the sort. in fact, some members of the CoCC wanted the AI policy to live in the CoC itself, but ultimately that must be a committee-wide TC39 decision for which we did not have consensus, neither in the CoCC nor TC39. one committee member felt that the use of AI alone was too broad to automatically consider ANY usage of AI to be a violation of the CoC, and that the CoC already covered AI slop / wasting the committee's time, and therefore the policy itself did not belong in the CoC.

that said, the question of where the policy lives is not the same as the question of how the policy might be enforced. no one has taken the position that the policy is unenforceable.
