0rwx: Borrowing Unix permission bits to classify four levels of AI use

Someone proposed a tiered labeling system called 0rwx, borrowing Unix permission bits to describe how large language models are used, classifying AI's read and write permissions over work into four levels: ZER0 (AI cannot read or write), READ (read-only), WRITE (read-write), EXECUTE (humans can no longer understand the output). The framework distinguishes levels based on the user's ability to review the generated content, not the tools used. The author uses this framework to discuss their own and others' work, and has released the accompanying icon set into the public domain.
