Come compare in un questionario
L’acquirente cita di rado il numero del paragrafo. Lo chiede come un controllo: se l’utente viene informato che sta interagendo con un sistema di IA, se l’output generato viene marcato, se l’informativa compare prima della prima interazione. Una risposta che nomina il paragrafo, il ruolo e la data si legge come lavoro preparato. Un «rispettiamo il regolamento sull’IA» si legge come riempitivo e provoca un altro giro di domande.
