Marks

Six marks. One ink.

The numbers describe different roles for AI. They do not rank quality. An absent declaration means unknown.

Why we would rather you did not hotlink

Inline SVG works offline without a request to this website. A hosted image sends a request to the hosting provider; you can also download and host it yourself.

The numbers describe different roles for AI. They do not rank quality. An absent declaration means unknown.

Rules for the marks

  • Do not recolour a level to imply it is better or worse than another.
  • Do not put a mark on work you did not make the declaration for.
  • Do keep the link. A mark with no definition behind it is decoration.
  • Do translate them. Do redraw them. Do fork the whole thing.

Where it goes

A byline. An article footer. A video description. An about page. A README. A model card. A podcast's show notes. An email signature. The description field of a search result. Anywhere a reader would reasonably want to know what they are reading.
