Comment cela apparaît dans un questionnaire
L’acheteur cite rarement le numéro de paragraphe. Il le pose comme un contrôle : l’utilisateur est-il informé qu’il s’adresse à un système d’IA, la sortie générée est-elle marquée, l’information apparaît-elle avant la première interaction. Une réponse qui nomme le paragraphe, le rôle et la date se lit comme du travail préparé. Un « nous respectons le règlement IA » se lit comme un remplissage et appelle un nouveau tour de questions.
