AI disclosure badges
I use these labels so each post is clear about whether AI helped with the writing or editing. The human-facing badge explains the editorial process; the IPTC value gives machines a standard metadata signal.

The post was written and edited manually, without AI tools contributing to the wording.
Does not mean: No digital tools were used; it only describes AI involvement in the prose.
