Authorship Tags
A quick way to show how a piece of writing was created.
TL;DR
Use a short tag like:
A0-r
It tells readers how much AI was involved in the final text.
The levels
- A0 — Human Authored
- A1 — AI Assisted
- A2 — AI Contributed
- A3 — AI Generated
Pick the one that matches what remains in the final text.
Modifiers (optional)
Add detail with lowercase letters:
r— researche— editing suggestionst— translationc— code generationd— data analysis
Examples:
A0-r A1-re A2-c
How to use it
Put the tag wherever it makes sense:
Inline
A0-r
With description
A1 — AI Assisted
Footer
Authorship: A0-r
One rule
The tag reflects what appears in the final published text.
Not drafts. Not tools you opened. Just what made it into the work.
A couple examples
- You wrote everything, used AI for search →
A0-r - AI helped outline, you wrote the prose →
A1 - You kept some AI-written sentences →
A2 - AI wrote most of it →
A3
