How I Use AI

Last updated: July 8, 2026

I use AI to help me write. I would rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise, so this page explains where it helps and where the line is. There is not much to it.

The short version

The ideas, the opinions, and the experiences on this site are mine. I use AI the way I would use a good editor: to help me structure a draft, tighten the wording, and catch mistakes. It does not decide what I think or write posts for me. If something is published here, I mean it and I stand behind it.

What AI helps with

I treat AI as an editor and a sounding board, not an author.

Reworking a messy first draft into a clearer structure.
Tightening sentences, fixing grammar, and catching typos.
Talking through an idea to find the gaps in my own thinking.
Suggesting a sharper word when the one I have is not quite right.

What stays mine

Every post starts from something I actually think and want to say.
The arguments, the opinions, and the conclusions are my own.
The experiences and stories are real and mine. AI does not invent them.
I read every word before it ships and I stand behind all of it.

Why I am telling you this

Honesty matters to me more than the appearance of writing everything unaided. A real person is doing the thinking here, and the polish is assisted. Both of those are true, and you deserve to know which is which.
