Make a fair AI comparison

Compare the task and the choices, not a person’s worth.

Use the same task

Describe the goal, audience and constraints before creating either version. Explain differences in budget, time or available information. An entertaining vote is not scientific evidence.

Disclose the process

For AI versions, include the tool, model, date, prompt, settings and changes you made afterward. Do not present a heavily edited output as untouched. Label every version honestly.

Respect the creator

Only add comparisons where the original creator permits them. That permission does not let you upload their images, audio, text or source files to an AI service. Obtain separate permission, or work from a shared brief without transferring their files.
