A domain enters when it meets all four criteria: a substantial share of its content is AI-produced; the content is published without meaningful human oversight (chatbot error text is one sign); its layout or name could lead a reader to think human journalists wrote it; and it carries no clear disclosure.
Disclosure takes a site out. A site that says its content is machine-made is outside the catalogue whatever it publishes.
It records the supply side of machine-mediated reception: the sites that answer surfaces may retrieve and cite. Its series, the False Claim Monitor, records the composition side.
