Ask HN: We need a standard for recording how much AI was used during some work
The use of AI in various work scenarios is becoming increasingly prevalent, leading to a need for a standard way to record and describe its involvement. This standard would help clarify the extent to which AI was used in different projects, such as drafting PRs, designing specs, or building features. A standardized method of describing AI usage would provide transparency and consistency in communications, proposals, and other documents.
- ▪AI is being used in various work scenarios, including drafting PRs and building features.
- ▪There is currently no standard way to record or describe AI usage in these scenarios.
- ▪A standard method of describing AI involvement would provide transparency and consistency in communications and proposals.
Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
There's a big difference between these situations:- a PR that is quickly drafted by LLM based on a prompt- a careful spec designed by humans, worked on by AI- a feature built with a dev and LLM closely working together, with code reviews- a feature with parts fixed up by AI, but 90% human written- human written, checked with AIetcIs anyone moving towards a standard way of describing this? I'd love something that can go at the bottom of an communication / PR / proposal.
