The authorship question is becoming a design-system question

The Story

The paper asks where human authorship ends when generative systems become part of creative practice. It discusses agency-boundary controls, provenance scaffolds, and community-facing norms for authorship. ([arxiv.org](https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.09333?utm_source=openai))

The important point is not whether AI is “allowed.” It is whether the creative process makes meaningful human decisions visible: what was selected, rejected, revised, combined, or deliberately left imperfect.

That gives Studio Wensday a strong process principle for AI-assisted work: keep an authorship log. Not as bureaucracy, but as a way to preserve intent, explain value to clients, and prevent a polished output from becoming disconnected from the thinking that made it useful.
