Start using AI. Learn how to mark the work you make.
A clear account of your contribution.
“I used AI” can describe very different ways of working. The Human Quotient gives those processes names. Eleven levels distinguish reviewing generated output, correcting it, rewriting it, combining contributions, and creating the work yourself. Five symbols make groups of levels easy to recognize at a glance.
Choose the level that fits your process, add a short explanation, and help your audience understand how the work was made. Use it with writing, images, audio, code, and whichever AI tools you choose.
A guide to keep beside your next project.
