_Here is just one example of a post here!_ A significant challenge of Generative AI is its basis on the reuse of large swaths of content to which sources are never (and likely not easily) able to be credited/attributed.

As I skimmed a title of a post that was blocked by a login wall, the question of Provenance and Attribution, which to me are connected by different issues.

But I am posting here to find what others are doing for recommending ways to attribute generative AI content in learning materials.

But, every since I started experimenting with the early AI image generators, I was interested in the ways we might at least attribute what was made–

> I ran [a long topic here starting June 2022 as I explored and read about the rapidly moving space of what I formerly referred to as AI Generated media](https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/understanding-doing-some-ai/4013)\* After an OEG Voices podcast recording session today with @poritzj I am refraining from using the AI phrase. Jonathan makes a strong case that what we are really talking about has nothing to do with intelligence, more properly called “large statistical models” Stay tuned for that episode to be out soon at [https://voices.oeglobal.org/](https://voices.oeglobal.org/)The Girl in …

So for people who are supporting educators making use of AI generated media, what are your recommendations for suggesting at least some kind of attribution? Yes, the true source is not readily attributable, but can we get close [to the spirit of TASL](https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Recommended_practices_for_attribution) (well the L is left out in the gray cold zone).

I am thinking less so for truly giving credit, but for at least making it clear where the item came from (thus I tend to include the prompt).

How is the wild robot west doing these days?

## Discussion Prompts

- Are you recommending a particular style of attribution for AI generated text and media?
- Can this stuff really carry a license?
