Illustration is not observation
An AI-generated representation of a planet, molecule, geological event, or historical experiment may be useful as an illustration. It should not be described as a real photograph, measured result, or authentic scientific recording when it is not one.
Match the visual to the claim
When a video explains a scientific mechanism, visual storytelling should follow the explanation instead of introducing dramatic but irrelevant imagery. Visual clarity improves when a scene emphasizes the relationship at hand, labels important distinctions, and avoids implying false scale or certainty.
Build a verification habit
Before publishing, review essential statements against appropriate sources. Where a claim is contested, evolving, or simplified, be careful about certainty. AI can draft language or illustrations, but it does not independently establish a claim as true.
Respect the destination
Platform rules may require labels or controls for AI-generated or altered content. Creators should use official authorization, avoid disallowed automation, and retain responsibility for rights and disclosures.
Make correction possible
Publishing is not the end of responsibility. Editorial processes should make it possible to identify mistakes, update context, and improve future work based on reliable feedback.
Good science communication earns trust by showing care, not by pretending automation is infallible.
