How I Use AI

You're reading criticism, and the first quiet question about any text now is whether a person actually wrote it. Here's the honest answer for this site — specific enough to hold me to it.

What's mine

[The reading is mine. The argument, the judgments, what's worth attention and what isn't, the way one thing connects to another — that's the whole point of this place, and a machine doesn't do it for me. State this plainly and specifically.]

Where a machine helps

[Be concrete about what AI actually touches: chasing down sources, surfacing counter-arguments to test my own, catching a clumsy sentence, checking a fact I then verify at the source. Name the real uses — vague reassurance reads as evasion; specifics read as thought.]

Where it never does

[Draw the bright line. The reading itself. The taking of a position. Passing off generated prose as a considered judgment. Say what you will not do, so the promise is falsifiable.]

Why I care about this line

[Your story goes here — as much or as little as you want. You shut down your own AI company on principle; that's why this isn't a disclaimer to you, it's the point. Decide how forward to be.]

If any of this ever stops being true, this page changes first. Hold me to it — hello@truetothings.com.
