AI Use and Research Transparency
Last revised — August 21, 2026
AI Is a Tool
SOAPSzone uses artificial intelligence as a research, organization, analysis, brainstorming, editing, and production tool. AI is not treated as an authority and does not replace evidence.
Human Editorial Responsibility
Responsibility for what SOAPSzone publishes remains with SOAPSzone. Important factual claims should ultimately be grounded in reliable source material, direct reporting, public records, expert information, or other evidence that can be evaluated.
Research Assistance
AI may help identify questions, compare documents, organize timelines, spot inconsistencies, summarize large bodies of material, generate research leads, or suggest areas that deserve verification.
Verification
AI-generated claims can be wrong, incomplete, outdated, or misleading. Material that matters to a story should be checked against appropriate sources rather than published simply because an AI system produced it.
Transparency
Where AI’s role is material to understanding how a piece was produced, SOAPSzone may explain that role. We do not need to attach a machinery inventory to every sentence.
