These are his notes

@joelhamill Wordpress would have been much less likely to roll this out if Google hadn't clarified that AI-generated content is okay even if discovered and confirmed. Automattic has spent too much time fighting spam blogs on their platforms to go against Google Search's guidance.

If Google had even just vaguely discouraged AI generated text that would almost certainly have prevented Wordpress from shipping the feature.
