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, outlining, 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 That content on the platform is generated by AI?

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 or terms of uses.

  • 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 article was created with the assistance of an AI writing tool."

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

Transparency ensures credibility and compliance with our AI Content Policy.
