I used an AI tool to convert a work of prose that is in the public domain into a long poem. I was thinking of crediting myself as transcriber and editor, as it took me almost a week to convert the original text, 200 words at a time. Additionally, I still had to significantly alter many of the verses to make the rhymes fit properly and have the poem make sense within the context of the work in question.

If there is a more appropriate title, than transcriber and editor, that I should use for myself, please comment.

Additionally, how should I properly annotate the AI tool? It is listed as free to use, with no mention of any restrictions on it's use.

Right off the top of my head, I would probably say something like, "As Interpreted by:"

Or "A Poetic Interpretation of X by your name"

That way, you are not taking credit for the original work, but are taking credit for the poetic license.

Clearly this is all too new for there to be a definitive answer but 'Editor' seems appropriate if you were checking and correcting. Spending a week copying & pasting doesn't merit any credit.

There is no legal or moral requirement to credit the specific AI system you used though readers would expect you to be honest and prominently credit AI in general with doing the bulk of the work so they can decide whether reading pages and pages of computer output is worth their time. It's better they know up front, rather than suspecting it part way through.
