Made with some AI

need2know.ai/some-ai

Artificial intelligence produced or materially altered a small part of this work, up to about a third of it.

How much was AI needed?
It helped, but I could have done this without it.
Roughly how much of the work
More than none, up to a third.
For instance
A shop whose site copy is hand-written but whose product photographs are generated declares at the photographs' level, or shows a mark for each medium.

The lines either side

From made with no AI
AI was used at all.
To made with AI
Some part of the work was beyond the maker unaided.

For a reader

One mark covers media that may sit at different levels. Where the difference would change a decision, the per-medium marks are more informative.


Declaring this level

Light use is easily missed and easily suspected. A declaration at this level settles the question at little cost to the work's standing.

Badge and mark

The badge is the mark with a QR code beside it. The code resolves to this page, where the level is defined.

Badge (SVG)Mark alone (SVG)

The level is read by counting the dotted pins, and below about 40 px the five levels are no longer separable. At smaller sizes the mark is set beside its words, “made with some AI”, and the words state the level.

The address the code resolves to is permanent, and is never reused for another meaning.
