Et AI.: A proposal for AI attribution

This proposal seems solid. I personally also like how many scientific journals have added a mandatory AI disclosure in publication. Practically it's one or two sentences how (or if) Gen AI was used.

"ChatGPT model GPT-5.2 was used to identify spelling errors"

"Google Gemini 3 was used to generate the abstract of the paper".

"Whatever Overleaf has was used to identify spelling errors"

"Google Docs AI (whatever the name is, Gemini) has was used to identify spelling, grammar and idioms errors"

"Gemini in Google Search has been used to understand how to use obscure Fortan 77 instruction"

...

Along those lines, yes. Often journals ask specifically about generative AI, so other types of AI tools don't require disclosure.
