Disclosure
How I use AI in my writing.
I work on AI systems, so it would be strange to be evasive about this. Here is the actual division of labour.
What AI assists with
- searching a large private evidence base for relevant material;
- finding contradictions, repetition, and missing topics across drafts;
- locating candidate primary sources;
- outlining alternative explanations for something I observed;
- generating adversarial review questions against my own claims;
- and producing first-draft derivative versions of a finished article.
What it does not decide
- whether a claim is observed, inferred, or proposed;
- whether an operational detail is safe to publish;
- any privacy, disclosure, legal, or commercial claim;
- whether the prose represents my experience and my view;
- and whether anything is released publicly.
The rules I hold myself to
I disclose substantial AI drafting or transformation when a reasonable reader would care how the piece was made. I always label synthetic demonstrations as synthetic. I do not present model-generated experience or opinion as mine. I keep a private record of the sources and human edits behind each final version.
I do not automate publication, comments written as if they were my spontaneous response, engagement schemes, or outreach triggered by post interaction. If you reply to something I wrote, a person reads it.
