My 5th grader and I talked about this approach to “showing your work” for writing assignments in the age of AI - not recording, just the edit log. Really young kids are surprisingly aware that this is the kind of thing that can prove they did their work.

Self surveillance as protection from accusations of using AI.
What sophomore Leigh Burrell created as proof she did an assignment herself. She records a 93-minute session. Then plays back the Google Doc at super high speed. (Compressed to 17 secs.) Smart woman. Extreme situation.

She's a CS major.
What if she hadn't been using a surveillant tool in the first place? (Personally, I would never draft in a Google Doc.)
It's not always terrible. It was really only when I went back to school that I submitted myself to being under the boot of Google. Prior to that, I refused gmail, Gdocs, calendars etc. Ofc it's useful for group work.
You have to compromise to live within current systems.
