AI Generated

Definition

Created wholly or partly by an artificial-intelligence system from prompts, examples, or other input.

Example

How it is used

The phrase should ideally indicate what part was generated, because many works combine human and AI contributions.

Origin and context

It became a common disclosure label as generative text, image, audio, and video tools spread in the 2020s.

Common variations

generated by AI

A plain-language equivalent.

AI-assisted
