Probably include most relevant and distinct facts. duplicates can be merged: we can combine AI drive-ths bullet into one bullet referencing both sources? but each bullet must cite each fact with note link exactly as given; can't combine multiple citations unless same fact; but duplicates referencing same fact can be merged into one bullet citing one source maybe but then missing citation for other source; but both sources same fact about not using AI; we can choose one citation; but other bullet still covered by citation? Might still be okay as long as each bullet cites a source; not required to cite all sources for same fact.
