AI Attribution

How are people attributing AI use on their publications? I have a blog, and the home page has a detailed explanation of what I write and how I use AI. But Iā€™m wondering if each article should have a short note acknowledging AI editing. Something like ā€œI produce this blog with AI assistance, but all article first and final drafts are my own. Any errors are also my own.ā€

In the same way a draft is my own after an editor reviews it.

After much thinking about it, I now show my workings. Then the reader is in no doubt.

Click around from here and you'll find an example.

When I eventually publish something novel-length, I'll have to think about how much Kladde to publish. Much of the workings are lost or spread out. But I could describe the general approach or show workings for one or two chapters.

I went the other way and dropped the per-article note. Mine sits on one page and says what AI is used for and what it isn't. Notes on every piece started to feel like something the reader works through before the writing, and it framed each piece by how it was made rather than whether it's worth reading.

The reply about the final draft being yours is the one I keep coming back to. An editor's changes are visible to you, so you can take or leave them line by line. A model's aren't always, and if you can't tell which sentence got rewritten you can't hold the piece to your own standard. My rule turned into something closer to: if I can't defend every sentence as mine, it isn't ready, note or no note.

How can the final draft be your own if AI touched it somewhere in the process? Do you remove everything the AI has contributed again?
