The big idea
When you make something with AI's help, the question is not 'is it really mine?' (It IS yours — you had the vision, you guided it.) The question is: 'Am I being clear about how I made it?'
Real examples
'I wrote this song. AI helped me brainstorm rhymes.' = honest, valid, your work.
'I made this art.' (when AI generated it from your prompt) = under-credits AI's role.
'AI made this art.' (when you wrote a careful prompt and curated outputs) = under-credits YOUR role.
'I directed this AI-generated piece, prompt by Me, model XYZ.' = accurate.
Try it yourself
Look at the last creative thing you made with AI help. Write a one-sentence honest credit line. Practice making the language match the reality.
