  "account": "DEV is rolling out revised AI guidelines to ensure the most authentic content rises to the top of the platform. Human curation by community leaders, direct peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, and human connection remain at the heart of the community. However, creators are increasingly using AI tools to help craft their posts. To bring transparency and nuance to how content is created and consumed, DEV is introducing AI Disclosure.\n\nThere are three tiers of AI disclosure:\n1. Hand Written (No AI): The article is written entirely by a human without assistance from AI text-generation tools.\n2. AI-Assisted (Some AI): The article is written by a human with the aid of AI tooling, such as rough drafting, generating code samples, major copyedits, or translations.\n3. Fully Autonomous: The content is generated primarily or entirely by automated agents or language models.\n\nNuance is key, as helpful assistance using AI is normal and acceptable. For example, brainstorming with an LLM while debugging or using an agent to outline notes is standard. However, undisclosed autonomy is problematic and deceptive. Authors must disclose when AI is used, as this allows readers to evaluate the context appropriately.\n\nThe introduction of AI Disclosure is not a shift in moderation enforcement, but rather the foundation for clear expectations and fair community standards. Feed Preferences and Reader Controls are also being developed, allowing users to customize their reading experience. This includes options to reduce or filter out AI-assisted or autonomous posts from their home feed based on personal preferences. Users can select whether to see AI Content in their feed from their settings.",
