This essay reframes AI creativity away from existential risk debates toward a practical ethics question: disclosure and honesty in the creator-audience relationship. The stakes are immediate and commercial. Whether a designer, writer, or musician discloses AI assistance directly affects how audiences evaluate the work's originality, effort, and authenticity, which in turn shapes market pricing and cultural credibility. Without settling this norm early, undisclosed AI work will undercut transparent practitioners, poisoning the trust signals that audiences rely on to value creative labor.
