This all LGTM, left a few suggestions, the side-by-side CV may be a little work to put together but I think is probably really worthwhile? I've definitely had a lot of experiences of pointing out to a trainee (particularly on ITD when we used to have them generate CVs/cover letters with GenAI) how bad their AI-generated cover letter was
| Success at CYF is not about using AI to rush through the course and tick all the boxes. It's about building a deep understanding of the concepts we teach for yourself. Using AI to do the work for you wastes everyone’s time. You will end the course without the coding skills you wanted (which means you won't get a job) and our volunteers will have wasted their time marking AI work. | ||
| This means that all output from AI is potentially untrustworthy, we should keep a critical eye on the output of AI tools. | ||

I'd be tempted to split this into two sub-sections:
- We need to build understanding
- Sometimes it lies
I think the "we need to question and verify and explain" could do with being split into those two sections too:
- In the "building understanding" section we can talk more about how we should be able to spot problems in AI output, and we should be able to delete AI output and write it ourselves because we know how.
- In the "sometimes it lies" section, we can talk a bit about looking up other sources

| - Letting AI write your CV | |
| - Letting AI write something for you (e.g. your CV) |
And let's explain why this is bad - that it will generate generic CVs which don't sell you, which aren't personal, that use filler words, that make things up about your background, etc.
Maybe we could even include side-by-side a bad AI generated CV and a good personally written CV, and give trainees a prompt for some criteria to use to compare them, and have them submit their comparison? (On average our ITD trainees don't know what a good CV looks like, so I think we would need to give them criteria to evaluate from)
