I read the section about the AI Disclosure Assistant, and I honestly don’t see the need for most of these disclosure statements. If a human could have made the same background pattern, illustration, bar chart or basic photo edit, what exactly is the reader gaining from the disclosure?
To be clear, I’m not arguing against transparency. There are cases where authorship matters. But the author argues disclosure should depend on material impact; and it’s hard to see how the examples rise to a level that warrants disclosure.
I also think the alt text analogy isn't quite right. Alt texts are about accessibility. They provide a description for those who can’t view the image. They don’t say who created the image or whether it's original or altered. And that’s why the analogy falls short.
Awesome and useful! Thank you
Another very, very helpful post, thanks!
