Update 2026-11-09: I plan to use AI for drafting sections (like the Methods/Related Work sections below) significantly more, but will continue heavily editing any AI-generated text to ensure that it's 100% text I would stand by and can explain.
My AI use policy for writing. tl;dr I use AI as an editor and beta reader, and for generating text where the writing isn't the point.
I use AI extensively for research.
I use AI for typos / grammar / readability of individual sentences and directly integrate the feedback if it makes sense.
I don't currently use AI to brainstorm post ideas, but will if they ever start giving good advice.
I generate writing for apps (without an author byline) or for reference artifacts (attributed to Claude) when I want information to exist but the writing isn't the point. I also include clearly labelled AI generated text when I'm talking about LLM outputs, or when I want to cite low-effort research or back of the envelope math.
If I use AI outputs for more that just editor-level cleanup on a post under my own name, I will clearly label them or the entire post. The Methods and Related Work sections of this post are the only examples I can think of (see the disclaimer in the introduction).
I actually think using AI assistance to write full posts is fine as long as the prompt is more detailed than the post. I might publish posts like this on my own blog in the future but won't share them on LessWrong since the AI use policy would make them annoying to read.
