AI tools are controversial. There are legitimate concerns about ethics, sustainability, labour impacts, and reduced professional development opportunities.

As a professional, I stay current with my tools while remaining cognizant of the dilemmas. I use AI (primarily Claude, but also local models) as a thinking partner and editor, helping me refine ideas, catch errors, and iterate faster. Everything published here is written, reviewed, edited, and published by me.

AI is a force multiplier, not a replacement for craft, and I'm committed to being upfront about tool use while maintaining editorial standards.
