"AI disclosure: I don’t use AI to do my writing. The words you see here are mine. I do use Gemini 3.1 Pro, multiple flavors of Claude 4.6, and/or OpenAI GPT 5.2 via Kagi Assistant (disclosure: my son works at Kagi) — backed up by both Kagi Search, Google Search, and phone calls to research and fact-check. I used a word processing application called Lex, which has AI tools, and after writing the column, I used Lex’s grammar checking tools to hunt for typos and errors and suggest word changes."

What a journey. Just say you use AI to do your writing. It's ok, or at least it's preferable to the above, which is just "I always read the linked sources on the Wikipedia article" for the 2020s.
