AI Influence Level (AIL)

Every post on this blog shows its AI Influence Level at the top. The scale comes from Daniel Miessler, and this site uses its version 2.0 with one reading of my own, explained below. It says how much of a text an AI made, and who had the idea and started it. It says how a text was made, not whether it is any good.

How I use it

  • Every post gets a level, decided per post.
  • My research posts are written with my personal AI setup, mostly Claude. They are at 3 where the structure of the finished text is mine, and at 4 where the AI gave my idea its structure and that structure stayed. The reading of my own: level 3 also covers a structure I set afterwards, by reordering and regrouping a draft in depth, because what counts is the finished text, not who started it.
  • The level does not change how a post is checked. Every fact has a source, quotations are taken from the original documents, and I read and check every post before it goes online.

How to read the badge

The badge shows the level as a number and as a bar of six segments, filled up to the level. The colour runs from green at 0 to brick red at 6 without judging either end: a high level describes how a text was made, not that it is worse.

The seven levels

LevelMeaning

Human Created, No AI Involved

I wrote it. No AI touched the text.

Human Created, Minor AI Assistance

My text; spelling and grammar were checked with AI, nothing more.

Human Created, Major AI Augmentation

My text, with passages or content an AI contributed.

AI Created, Human Full Structure

An AI wrote the text. The structure of the finished text is mine: what goes where, and why.

AI Created, Human Basic Idea

An AI wrote the text from my idea and gave it its structure, and I checked and edited the result.

AI Created, Human Request

I set it in motion; the topic and the text came from the AI.

AI Initiated, No Human Involvement

An AI started it on its own, without anyone asking for it.
