Gwenn Seemel: a personal declaration against generative-AI use

The archive provides Chinese and English research texts. Translations may be AI-assisted and may not yet have received independent human review. Consult the original-language sources alongside them.

Open to playful generator use in 2023, publicly refusing in 2025; creator remuneration remains a shared concern.

Dates describe collected records, not the full life of the case.
RESEARCH NOTE

July 1 is the article date; footer use since late May is retrospective self-report, without exact launch date or snapshot. Personal commitment, not an independent audit or technical blocking.
