No AI

Every single line of prose that’s not an explicit quote is written entirely by me. Every line of code on this site is written either entirely by me or a piece of open source software written by one of the fine projects or individuals credited in the “shoutouts” page.

I have never and will never use AI to generate anything on this site. I have never and will never use AI to “prototype”, or to “review”, or to play any role at any stage of my personal creative process.

I don’t care about speed. I don’t care about “more”. If I don’t have the time or energy to write something, I won’t. If I don’t have the time or energy to create something, I won’t. There are other humans in the world that deserve to have the space to share.

I will continue to use em dashes like I’ve been doing since I first (poorly) began using them back in 2015. Similarly, I’ll continue to use “not only X, but Y” whenever strikes my fancy like I have been since my very first article. I refuse to mutilate my writing style simply to present myself as more “human” to other humans that are rightfully dubious because LLMs have forever poisoned the well of human expression.

I will never sacrifice my integrity at the alter of “content”, as if producing “more” in and of itself is a virtue worth the sacrifice of true human expression and connection. I have few articles, few projects, and fewer still that are worth anyone’s time. But it’s unapologetically human, every bit of it, and always will be.
