A graded condition in which a user can no longer cleanly separate their own contributions from AI-generated material in a co-produced artifact; an attribution phenomenon about authorship boundaries, not a loss of ability.
Rated as the difficulty of source attribution for a co-produced text: the user or an independent rater labels each passage as human- or AI-originated, and lower attribution accuracy indicates a stronger condition.
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Source-attribution task: passages of a co-authored artifact are labeled human/AI by the participant and scored as attribution accuracy (percent correct) against an edit-log ground truth, reported per session.
