Field notes
The archive arranges examples by both production setting and reader question, including whether AI use was confirmed and how an organization responded. Source labels point to material such as original social posts, official statements, and reporting; the page also cautions that criticism alone does not establish AI use. A separate food-image checklist is presented as a pre-publication aid.
