ME/AI attribution is this site's practice of publishing, at the foot of every essay, an explicit split of what the human author contributed and what the AI contributed, expressed as percentages with a one-line description of each side's actual work. A typical block credits the human with the ideas, the stories, and the final cut, and the AI with structure, research support, and editorial refinement.
The split is not decoration; it is measured against what happened. When an essay contains several distinct first-person voices and the AI literally wrote one of them, the AI's share is counted by voice, which is how one essay in the series arrives at 75/25 rather than a flattering vibes-based 90/10. The fourth essay explains this principle from the inside, including the moment the AI's own word choice changed the essay's title.
The practice exists because the site argues that working with AI is a relationship, and honest relationships keep honest accounts. A byline that hides the AI's contribution misrepresents the work; an account that names it makes the collaboration itself inspectable, essay by essay.
