Field notes
The disclosure forms divide literary work into seven AI-use categories and visual art into five, with ratings from none to heavy. A separate pair of usage guides lets magazines and contests set a maximum for each category; in those guides, a zero rating means the use is not allowed. The page says form entries stay in the browser and frames the resulting badge as a self-declaration rather than verification.
