Not really. The actual text of the Editorial Policy recites:
> Text generated from AI, machine learning, or similar algorithmic tools cannot be used in papers published in Science journals
which you may read in light of
> artificial intelligence tools cannot be authors
and you may complete it with the text in the article
> Machines play an important role, but as tools for the people posing the hypotheses, designing the experiments, and making sense of the results. Ultimately the product must come from — and be expressed by — [the mind of said people]
So, the point is very easy: /the content/ of all material must be generated by the researcher, while AI can be - as always - a tool to aid production.

About «defining "AI tool"»: as in the past seven decades - there exist natural problem solvers, and there can be automated problem solvers. AI automates what a professional does. Edit: disambiguating: "[content] generated from algorithmic tools [with the purpose of generation]" are forbidden; "AI tools [with the purpose of being tools, aids] cannot but be welcome". The policy is badly formulated, though the sense should be clear.
