Re: I wish to propose a META tag for AI Generated content if it does not exist

HTML was never maintained through the Internet RFC mechanism.

W3C no longer maintain the HTML specification, that is under the control 
of an industry consortium called WHATWG.  The W3C produced 
specifications do not allow META as a child of DIV.  I'm not clear on 
the the WHATWG ones as they don't have a DTD.

What you are describing is not a tag, but a metadata name (for use in 
META elements).
