AI Policy

This blog is grounded in ethical AI use. These are not aspirations — they're enforced in the build itself. Our content pipeline validates that every post declares its provenance, and posts using AI without a signed disclosure fail to compile.

Human first, always

Posts are written by Anthony. AI never authors original thought on this site. The ideas, opinions, war stories, and takes are human-generated; some formatting and transcription assistance may not be.

Labeled and signed

Every piece of AI-assisted content carries a visible disclosure naming the model used and the scope of its contribution. No unlabeled AI content ships — the build itself fails if a post declares AI use without a signature.

No AI art, period

No AI-generated images, logos, illustrations, or thumbnails appear on this site. Visual work is done by hired graphic designers or by Anthony, crudely and proudly, by hand.

AI transforms, humans originate

The only fully AI-generated text allowed is transformation of human source material — e.g., a vlog transcript reworked into a write-up. The source is always human; AI is the adapter, not the author.

What the labels mean

Human written
Written by Anthony with no AI assistance. Ideas, drafts, and edits are human.
AI assisted
Human-authored with AI help for specific tasks (editing, code snippets, research). The model used is named on the post.
Generated with AI from human source
AI transformed the author's own material — for example, a vlog transcript reworked into a write-up. The source is human; AI is the adapter. The model used is named on the post.

This policy is also enforced in our repository's AGENTS.md directive, which governs any AI tooling used to build this site. Questions? Reach out on X.
