Human-written: Each and every substantive character of the final text was manually composed by a human. No assistive tooling was used to produce the substantive wording itself.
Machine-written:Each and every substantive character of the final text was produced by a machine without meaningful human intervention. This is, to me, the diametric opposite ofhuman-written.
Human-delegated: A human deliberately delegates the production of some or all of the substantive text to a machine.
Human-guided: A human iteratively guides the production by providing prompts, constraints, corrections, examples, and feedback.
Human-supervised: A human continuously evaluates, accepts, rejects, or redirects the machine’s output while it is being produced.
Human-edited: A human substantially modifies machine-produced text after generation before adopting it.
Human-authored: A human exercises judgement over, understands, selects, revises, adopts, and ultimately takes responsibility for the resulting work, regardless of how individual parts of it were initially produced.
All of your definitions here, except the first, seem to include large sections of the final result being written by an LLM. I think "Human-written" could be expanded to include things like, "oh, I copy-pasted this 3-word phrase that came out of a conversation with an LLM chatbot," but I agree with the previous policy proposal: "By all means use an LLM to generate ideas, points to cover, and structure, but the best way to take responsibility for every word is to write every word."
