I want readers to trust my blog. For transparency, AI is used for:
- Header art for some articles (example). AI art is captioned with the model and prompt used to produce it.
- The code powering the site (I code with GitHub Copilot).
AI is not used for any written content whatsoever. All thoughts published here are my own (and my fault). I do not use LLMs to generate ideas, create outlines, write, revise, or in any part of the writing process. It’s the least I can do with my wildly useful journalism degree.
I’m also moving away from using AI header art. It was a fun novelty, but I’ve grown frustrated with its inconsistency. I can get better results in less time with a little creativity. This article, for example, uses a picture I took of my keyboard with a bunch of Acorn filters on top. Looks way better than the AI keyboard art I tried to make at the time.
