SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Texts about AI often collapse critical distinctions—treating generated output as knowledge, fluency as understanding, or authority as evidence. This Skill provides a rigorous analytical framework to evaluate how a text handles the transition from production to evidence to attribution, preventing conceptual errors in epistemic analysis of AI-generated content. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Epistemic Distinction Analysis: Separates production, information, evidence, verification, attribution, authority, and truth claims within any text about AI. - Counterfactual Testing: Applies structured tests (remove generation, remove verification, replace AI with human production) to determine whether an issue is AI-specific or a general epistemic problem. - Structured Output Protocol: Produces findings with claim, evidence, verification, attribution, knowledge status, classification (A–E), confidence, and recommendation fields. - Use Case: Given a paper claiming "AI produces scientific knowledge," use this Skill to reconstruct what is actually produced, what evidential standards apply, how attribution is handled, and whether the claim conflates functional performance with understanding. ## Quick Start Analyze this text about AI-generated research summaries using the knowledge-evidence-production framework and report findings with the output protocol.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze whether AI output counts as knowledge?

Reconstruct the chain from production to evaluation to evidence to attribution rather than asking the abstract question. Identify what is produced, which epistemic standards apply, how the output is verified, and who attributes epistemic status to it.

How to evaluate evidence claims in AI-generated text?

Ask what the evidence supports, under which standard, how it was obtained, and whether it can be independently checked. A generated statement is not evidence merely because a model produced it; the source of generation and the basis of evidence are distinct questions.

What is the difference between fluency and understanding in AI analysis?

Fluency is a stylistic property that can make outputs appear knowledgeable or authoritative, but it does not establish knowledge, evidence, or understanding. The framework flags texts that mistake stylistic or functional properties for epistemic status.

When should I use counterfactual tests in epistemic analysis?

Use them to determine whether a problem is AI-specific or general. Replace AI with human production, remove verification, or remove attribution; if the epistemic issue persists, it concerns general knowledge evaluation rather than AI specifically.

What are the limitations of this analytical framework?

The framework does not decide whether AI produces knowledge in the abstract and does not impose a single external theory of knowledge. It analyzes the epistemic standard actually operating in the text, so results depend on the quality of the source material examined.
