It is my belief that users want transparency about content that was produced by AI. To that end, I have started being transparent about when and how I use AI in my creation process.

I began by adding “AI Generated Image - Midjourney” or “AI Generated Image - ChatGPT” as the title attribute on img links. When the users hovers over the image, they can clearly see the title.

With regards to text content, it gets a little bit murky. There is a proposal to add a meta tag to the document so that browsers can choose how to notify the users. I think this is a good idea and I have implemented it on https://blog.infiniteframeworks.com.

However, without browser support for that meta tag, I still want to indicate if/when I use ChatGPT to help me generate content. While this may dilute the reader’s trust in my works, I feel like it would be disingenuous to provide AI written articles as if they were my own.

Truth be told, I never publish articles that were 100% written by AI. I do, however, lean on AI as an assistant. I will ask it for tone analysis, constructive criticism, three strengths/three weaknesses, and I will use it to do research about a particular concept with the caveat that I always double check facts from AI as they are often wrong.

In order to be completely transparent about my use of AI, I have added an AI disclaimer to the frontmatter of my posts.

It accepts any type of text so that I can add what I think is appropriate credit when needed. Statements such as:

Created by Jim Smits, Edited with ChatGPT

Created by Jim Smits, Scripts by ChatGPT

And so on.

Then I added it to my Jekyll template so that it is clear to the user.
