Statement on AI Usage

Transparency and responsibility in human-AI collaboration.

I use AI for a variety of tasks, including writing content, generating ideas, and automating repetitive tasks. I believe that AI has the potential to make our lives easier and more efficient, but I also recognize the importance of maintaining human oversight and accountability. I use AI tools responsibly and ethically, and I take steps to ensure that my use of AI aligns with my values and goals. This page explains how I use AI, what I don’t use it for, and why my content is still worth your time.

Tools

I use ChatGPT Atlas for content curation and image generation.

Apart from that, my AI usage is as follows:

FAQ

1. Do you use AI to write your blog posts?

Yes. AI helps me think, draft, and refine ideas. But AI is not the author of this blog.

I treat AI like a smart assistant. It helps me brainstorm, organize thoughts, explain concepts clearly, and sometimes produce a rough first draft. Every post is reviewed, edited, and shaped by me before it’s published.

If something doesn’t make sense, feels wrong, or doesn’t match my voice, it doesn’t make it into the blog.

2. Is this just copied AI content?

No.

I don’t copy-paste AI output and hit publish. AI gives me raw material. I rewrite, restructure, add context, remove fluff, and apply my own judgment. Many parts are changed significantly, and some are written entirely by me.

If you’re reading this blog, you’re not reading “generic AI output”. You’re reading my decisions about what matters, what doesn’t, and how ideas should be explained.

3. What about plagiarism?

Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work as your own. That’s not what I do.

I don’t ask AI to reproduce articles, books, or copyrighted material. I don’t copy from other blogs. AI generates original text based on patterns, not by pulling from a single source.

When I reference ideas, tools, or concepts that deserve attribution, I add it myself.

Ultimately, I take responsibility for what I publish.

4. Could AI content violate copyright?

Any content can violate copyright if published irresponsibly. AI is no exception.

That’s why I review everything before it goes live. I avoid prompts that request copyrighted text. I edit and transform AI output instead of publishing it verbatim.

If something looks too close to an existing work, it doesn’t get published.

5. Why should I read your blog if AI helps you write it?

Because you’re not here for raw text generation. You’re here for:

You could ask AI these questions yourself. This blog exists to save you time by filtering, validating, and structuring information in a way that’s useful.

AI doesn’t decide what to write about. I do. AI doesn’t decide what’s important. I do. AI doesn’t take responsibility for the content. I do.

6. What about accuracy and mistakes?

AI can be wrong. I know that.

I try to verify facts, code, and technical claims before publishing. If something slips through and gets pointed out, I fix it. If you notice an error, I genuinely appreciate hearing about it.

This blog is a living thing. Corrections are part of the process.

7. What AI does not do here

AI does not:

Those parts are on me.

8. Why be open about this at all?

Because hiding AI usage feels dishonest. Tools evolve. Writing evolves. Transparency matters more than pretending everything is done the “old way”.

I’d rather be upfront about my process than quietly benefit from tools without acknowledging them.

Final Note

AI helps me write better. It doesn’t replace thinking, experience, or responsibility.

If you’re reading this blog, thank you for trusting my work. And if you ever have questions about how something was written or why a choice was made, I’m always open to that conversation.
