Users who present AI-generated content as human-created are in breach of this prohibition, which has implications for trust and accountability in AI use.
Interpretive note: The excerpt is a noun phrase without surrounding sentence structure, so the exact form of the prohibition (e.g., whether it is a standalone rule or part of a list) cannot be confirmed from the excerpt alone. The canonical claim treats it as a prohibition consistent with the clause name and type.
The updated terms materially reduce service quality commitments. The revised language replaces Google's prior commitment to provide services using "reasonable skill and care" with an explicit as-is disclaimer stating that services are provided "without any express or implied warranties" unless stated in service-specific terms. The updated terms now explicitly apply to all users whether signed in to a Google account or not, extending their scope. Google also clarifies that its Privacy Policy applies to service use. These changes establish that users have fewer contractual recourse options if services fail to function as expected, except where service-specific additional terms or applicable law provide otherwise.
