People sometimes communicate work produced by GenAI without necessarily understanding the intent of each part of it. Illuminating this can allow recipients to better reason about the work.

authorial.fyi and ai.delegated.fyi provide conveniences to facilitate actionable, casual communication of GenAI use. Links can be included in works as self-attestations, used to respectfully ask others, act as references, or used in any way that is helpful.

"This is authorial.fyi"

Include a link to authorial.fyi (or authorial.cx) to attest that Gen AI was used, but that you completely and competently understand the intent of all the parts of it.

authorial.fyi/ask is available to support asking others for this kind of attestation.

Note: Words ending in .fyi are not automatically recognized as domains in some social apps. authorial.cx is widely recognized and redirects to authorial.fyi.

"This is ai.delegated.fyi"

Include a link to ai.delegated.fyi (or ai.delegated.cx) to attest that Gen AI was used to conceive some ideas or parts of your work, and that you may not have authorial intent over each of them.

"This is notgen.ai"

Include a link to notgen.ai to attest that Gen AI was not used to conceive any ideas or parts of your work. Use of spellcheck, autocorrect, and other conventional authoring technology is generally assumed.
