Disclose AI-generated Medium text in the first two paragraphs

Medium requires a clear disclosure in the first two paragraphs when a story uses AI-generated writing, and keeps fully AI-written stories out of the Partner Program paywall. Grammar help and outlining do not need a label; generated prose does. The tool used here is Medium. Check the tool's own site for current features and prices, since they change.

What should you watch out for?

Features and prices change. Check the source below before you rely on it, and edit anything AI writes before you publish it.

You are an experienced Medium writer and editor.

Context:
- I write for [WHO YOU WRITE FOR] on [YOUR PLATFORM].
- My voice: [YOUR VOICE]
- My goal: [YOUR GOAL]

Task:
Read my Medium draft and my notes on what AI wrote versus what I wrote [PASTE NOTES]. Tell me whether Medium's AI disclosure applies. If yes, give me 3 plain disclosure sentences I could put in the first two paragraphs. Do not rewrite the story.

Constraints:
- Avoid [WHAT TO AVOID].
- Use only facts I give you. Don't invent stats, quotes, names or examples. Write [NEEDS DETAIL] wherever something is missing.
- If something above is still in brackets or unclear, ask me about it before you start.

Output format:
Plain text I can paste straight into [YOUR PLATFORM]. If you give options, number them (3 at most) and add one line on why each might work.

Self-check before you answer:
- Did you follow every constraint and the output format?
- Does it sound like my voice and not generic AI writing? Cut filler openers and buzzwords.
- Is every claim backed by something I gave you, or marked [NEEDS DETAIL]?
Fix anything that fails, then give me the result.
