Nothing on this site or anything written in my voice on the internet was generated by AI. I treasure writing and the internet for thinking, self-expression, and connection with other humans. I am committed to using my own voice when writing and don't foresee that changing in the future.

I use AI to lessen the burden of some manual coding tasks that I do. This mostly boils down to having AI take first passes on 1-n tasks after I've personally done whatever zero-1 creative work I think needs to be done. But regardless of the AI tools I use or don't, I take personal responsibility for what my code does and how it affects people.

As for AI doing other creative work, I've been intrigued by Ai Weiwei's comment about art which can be easily replicated by AI: "I think that kind of art should [have died] a long time ago."
