3 Quarks Daily's thoughtful AI writing policy: different rules for different content
lmoroney · x · 2026-10-23
Laurence Moroney highlights 3 Quarks Daily's new AI writing policy, calling it one of the more thoughtful ones. Most published pieces remain human-written with no AI involvement; AI is used selectively when it adds unique value — e.g. an accessible explainer of a long METR technical report published two days after the report, drafted by ChatGPT and fact-checked by another AI. Fully AI-written pieces get labeled, substantial human-AI collaborations get disclosed, routine grammar help needs no note. Moroney likes the frame of treating a poem, a personal essay and a technical explainer as different jobs, and suggests teachers and editors list their content types and decide AI's role for each.
