C-AITS

Creative AI Transparency Scale

The binary "AI-generated" vs "human-made" label is useless. Most creative work lives somewhere in between, and that middle ground is where all the interesting decisions happen.

C-AITS is a 0 to 5 scale that gives creators a language to be specific about how AI was involved in their work, and gives audiences the information to make up their own minds about what they're looking at.

The Scale

C-AITS Level 0

Level 0: The Soul

100% human. Raw creative output. No AI touched it.

C-AITS Level 1

Level 1: Augmented

Human core. AI used for basic assistance: grammar checks, brainstorming, minor suggestions.

C-AITS Level 2

Level 2: Hybrid

Human structure and direction, but heavy AI texturing, rendering, or drafting.

C-AITS Level 3

Level 3: Synthesized

True 50/50 collaboration. Iterative loop between human and machine.

C-AITS Level 4

Level 4: Generated

AI-dominant output via prompt engineering. Human curated and edited.

C-AITS Level 5

Level 5: The Machine

Raw AI output. Zero human modification.

How It's Applied

C-AITS is rated per component, not per project. A project's prose might be Level 0 while its concept art is Level 4. Both facts matter, and collapsing them into a single number would hide the truth rather than reveal it.

Every piece of content released from this studio carries its C-AITS rating publicly. See each project's page for a full breakdown.
