On AI assistance: Yes, I used AI tools to develop and edit this proposal. That is also part of the research practice being studied here. I use models to help structure language, test distinctions, and challenge drafts; I make the research decisions, verify the claims, revise the text, and take responsibility for the final proposal. I’d rather state that plainly than let an “AI-generated” flag imply a simpler authorship story than the one that actually occurred.
