AI is just an inanimate tool.
Do I need to disclose that I used a keyboard to write it, too?
The stuff I edit with AI is 100% made by a human - me.

In context of writing text, keyboard and text editor are inanimate tools because they cannot introduce text user did not come up with.
Spellcheck and autocorrect can come up with new words, and so is often anthropomorphized, it's not 100% "inanimate tool" anymore.
AI can form its own sentences and come up with its own facts for a much greater degree, so I would not call it "inanimate tool" at all (again, in context of writing text). It is much closer to editor-for-hire or copywriter-for-hire, and I think it should be treated the same as far as attribution goes.
hm.. looks like I am convincing myself into your point :) After all, if another human edits/proofreads my posts before publish, I don't need to disclose that on my post... So why should AI's editing be different?
