HQ(4) Edited

The human edited the AI draft substantively — rewriting sections, adding context, cutting irrelevant material. The skeleton came from AI; the human shaped the muscle. The content would be noticeably different without the human's edits.

The creator's attestation

I shaped this, but the skeleton came from the machine.

HQ is a self-assessment. The creator assigns this number because they are the one who knows how the work was made. This is an attestation — a declaration by the person who created the content.

Examples

  • Writing You rewrite two paragraphs of an AI-drafted email and add your own context
  • Writing You cut filler from an AI-generated report and add your analysis
  • Visual You composite AI-generated elements into a larger design you arranged
  • Audio You rearrange sections of an AI-generated composition and add your own instrumental layer
  • Code You refactor an AI-generated module and add your own implementation for key functions
