AI Content Disclosure
How AutoSpecs Daily uses AI tools in our content creation process.
Last updated: February 2026
Summary
AutoSpecs Daily uses AI language models as part of our content creation process. AI tools help us draft articles, which are then reviewed, edited, and fact-checked by our editorial team before publication. We believe transparency about this process is more valuable than pretending AI is not involved.
How We Use AI
Article Drafting
We use AI language models to create initial drafts of articles based on research data and topic outlines. These drafts serve as a starting point and are substantially edited by our team before publication.
SEO Metadata
AI tools help us optimize article titles, descriptions, and keywords for search engines. This helps ensure our content reaches people who are looking for the information we provide.
Topic Research
AI assists in identifying topics that car buyers frequently search for, helping us prioritize content that addresses real questions and needs.
What AI Does NOT Do
AI does not generate our calculator tools or their formulas — these are hand-coded using documented data sources
AI does not determine product recommendations — product selections are based on ratings, reviews, and relevance
AI-generated content is not published without human editorial review
AI is not used to fabricate first-hand experience, testing data, or credentials
AI does not make editorial decisions about which topics to cover or what position to take
Editorial Safeguards
We apply the following standards to all content, whether AI-assisted or not:
- 1Fact verification: Data points, prices, and specifications are verified against primary sources (EPA, NHTSA, manufacturer data).
- 2Claim review: We remove or qualify unverifiable claims. If something is an estimate, we say so.
- 3Tone review: We remove manipulative language, false urgency, and clickbait patterns from all content.
- 4Usefulness check: Every article must provide genuine value to the reader. Content that exists only to rank in search engines is not published.
Why We Disclose This
Many websites use AI to generate content without disclosing it. We believe readers deserve to know how content is created. AI is a tool that can help produce useful content at scale, but only when combined with genuine editorial oversight and transparency. We would rather be honest about our process than pretend that every word is written entirely by hand.
