Here's a quick and handy list of options to turn to when thinking about how to disclose AI use in your own work. Cover image credit: Peter Musser, CC-0/public domain
Privacy Considerations with AI Tools
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools come in all sorts of flavors. There are notetaking and transcription tools, chatbots, device-wide agentic AI features, grammar and writing tools, translation assistants, AI summaries, and research tools, among others. As a term, “AI” may refer to features in apps, apps themselves, third-party plug-ins, or a...
Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-generated Content
This code of practice supports compliance with the AI Act transparency obligations related to marking and labelling of AI-generated content.
Using AI in open source
If you want to use AI to help you contribute to one of the projects I maintain, I would be delighted. But I have rules.
Questioning AI Resource List
Excellent summary of major problems with companies’ focus on AI written by expert in machine learning: https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/i-will-fucking-piledrive-you-if-you-mention-ai-again/ Another good summary piece that includes many examples (in general Ed Zitron’s work is a great resource): ...
I'm done using AI
Why I'm stopping using AI for coding (and anything else) after using it earnestly for a year and coming to understand the harms it causes on personal, societal, and environmental levels.
AI Principles
A guiding framework for our responsible development and use of AI, alongside transparency and accountability in our AI development process.
The only reason you’ll ever need not to write with AI — The Carlson Lab
Over the last year, our lab has been developing a policy on AI use. To do this, we did three main things: We read a lot of academic publications and tech news. We set up an #ai channel on our lab Slack to share news, experiences, and memes. We had several long and grueling lab meetings talk
God Damn AI is making me dumb
It's so god damn tempting to use AI to write. Whether it is articles, code, or documents. I feel like using AI is diminishing my ability to write myself. ...
Private inference
When you use an AI service, you’re handing over your thoughts in plaintext. The operator stores them, trains on them, and–inevitably–will monetize them. You get a response; they get everything.
If you're going to cite that NBER report from OpenAI about "how people use AI," you've got to at least caveat it. We have no way to directly verify most of the report, and we do have at least one good reason, via indirect evidence and quoted below, to not trust it. nber.org/papers/w34255
Maria Antoniak
Not the point of the OP, but I was curious and took a closer look at this 2025 piece from OpenAI. Much could be said, but it fails my go-to test for all of these pieces about "how people actually use AI": the tokens "sex" "erotic" and "NSFW" do not appear in the paper.
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Kulusevski's Patella Spurs 🤦♂️
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

in my imagination of the future, of AIs doing raw research, it was the AIs that had full control over the proofs they wrote--attribution was clear, and so was the choice to disclose it. but as it stands we are in some hybrid situationship where the human prompter still assumes responsibility.
