HowTests AI Content FAQ

1. Do I need to disclose the use of AI-assisted tools such as grammar or spell checkers, outline assistance, or fact verification?

No, you do not need to disclose the use of AI-powered tools that assist with grammar correction, spell checking, outline structuring, or fact verification. However, if you use AI to generate text, images, or other content, you must disclose this information.

2. What should I do if I suspect AI-generated content on the platform?

If you encounter AI-generated content that appears questionable or does not comply with our AI Content Policy:

  • If the content appears in your feed or recommendations, you can use the "Show Less" option in the three-dot menu to remove it and adjust your content preferences.
  • If you find AI-generated content behind a restricted section or paywall, please report it to us by submitting a request via contact@howtests.com with a link to the content.

You do not need to report AI-assisted content unless it violates our policies.

3. How should I disclose AI-generated content?

If you have used AI-generated text in your article, disclose it within the first two paragraphs. A simple statement like the following is sufficient:

""This image was created using an AI image-generation tool." ."

Transparency ensures credibility and compliance with our AI Content Policy.
