I wouldn´t require disclosure, I think that's simply not realistic, for the reasons you describe, and also because people may just forget. I was wondering if I should declare that I did _not_ use any text analysis or generation tools in analyses I produce for clients. I'd wager people declaring that are less likely to lie about it than those using such tools are to not mention it. And someone reading that might find it helpful knowing that they can go over it with less (obviously still a healthy amount of) scrutiny. Declaring it proactively vs requiring disclosure seems like the reverse of the effect opt-out vs opt-in has on user behaviour. My answer was, by the way, yes. This particular document was in German, but roughly translated I wrote in the first section (where I clarified how I understood the assignment and what goals I set myself): "Aside from automated spell checking, the analysis behind this document as well as the act of drafting and writing it did not involve - at any stage - tools for automated text analysis or text generation." I found my peace with this now, but still curious if (and how!) others do this.
