SEARCH RECORD , AI Draft Distrust Record type: Behavioral pattern log Classification: Unofficial until output survives manual check Entries below are reconstructed from observed practice, not direct testimony


Query 1: [subject requests AI draft of project summary, 09:03] The draft arrives in eleven seconds. The subject reads the first paragraph. The subject identifies a sentence in paragraph two as probably wrong. The sentence is not wrong. The subject checks it anyway.

Query 2: [subject requests revised version, 09:18] The subject has edited the draft manually. Four sentences remain from the original. Fifteen sentences are new. The document is now the subject's document. The AI draft is the document's origin story. The origin story is not mentioned in the document.

Query 3: [subject searches for whether the tool remembers previous sessions, 10:44] It does not. The subject already knew this. The search was precautionary.


Pattern analysis. Someone requests an AI draft and immediately assumes the most important sentence is probably wrong. This assumption is wrong roughly sixty percent of the time. The check is performed regardless.

The help is useful enough to use and awkward enough to disguise. This is not a character assessment. It is a workplace condition that emerged during a year in which AI drafting tools entered professional workflows faster than any organizational policy about them did. The tools arrived. The etiquette did not arrive with them.

AI draft distrust adds one private manual check. That check becomes part of the normal workflow. Assisted work becomes routine while disclosure stays exceptional.

The draft is used. The draft is checked. The draft is never discussed in the meeting where the document it produced is discussed.

Record closed. The next search will not be recorded here. It will occur tomorrow at approximately 09:00.
