Mandatory AI Disclosure Is an Outdated Debate

The author notes a growing academic trend of requiring disclosures on "whether AI was used," which he considers "old-fashioned."
He argues that for many tasks, AI has become a default tool, much like a computer or Chrome. He gives examples of using AI to write code, organize files, conduct literature searches, format tables, create presentations, and even design his own text editor. Therefore, itemizing AI usage is practically impossible and unnecessary in reality.
