AI
I use Claude Code to assist me with tooling changes, content migration, and troubleshooting my editing setup. I use Claude to fact-check and link-check articles that aren’t about my life experience.
I do not use any AI to generate prose or rewrite my drafts. In fact, as AI has become more prevalent, I have shifted my writing style to be more tailored to my personal voice. In the past, I’ve used tools like Hemingway Editor, Grammarly, and the style filters in iA Writer to trim back my writing to be more bland, digestible, and readable. Now, anyone with an Internet-connected device can consume endless quantities of words written in that manner—you don’t come to me for more of that.
If, for whatever reason, I do use AI to author parts of a particular piece of writing, I will put a visible disclaimer on the page.
However, I am ambivalent about AI training on my modest corpus of writing.
Most pages on this site are already available as Markdown documents (see <link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown" href="…" /> in the <head> of this page for an example) so they’re ready to be scooped up by future training runs.
