My instinctive first response: "I'd just tell them, that's what I've been doing with most of my students"... but then I realize the students part here is important; I've not been able to critique my PI last time when I noticed he gave my AI-slop feedback on a draft I sent him. So, even though I like to believe I am very straightforward when it comes to scientific discussions, there's still some hierarchical reverence dictating my actions when push comes to shove. But right after that, another colleague reminded said PI that she does not want him to put unpublished work into a proprietary LLM. She is much less direct than me, usually, so I was pleasantly surprised.

another colleague reminded said PI that she does not want him to put unpublished work into a proprietary LLM.

This is quite a bit different than bringing up the PI's own ai-usage though. Because this is easily aligned with the PI's own incentives: be careful about uploading unpublished work lest it get stolen.

Directly suggesting that you disagree with something they did is quite another story.

Thankfully, the hierarchical aspect is less of an issue for me, since I'm the senior colleague in this case.

Are you also the lead author, to the extent that we have those in econ?

If it is primarily your work, I think it's fine for you to edit the writing so the voice is consistent throughout.
