Did you make this?

That's always the question these days, isn't it? We want to know where the words we're reading come from - and if they're even worth the time to read.

In the near future this engine will have clear demarcation for what's entirely human written, what's adapted from AI copy, and what's entirely AI. For the time being however, you can assume the following:

• Essays typically begin with my own kernel of thought. I may or may not discuss the concepts first with a frontier model, but always write the first draft unaided. I'll usually discuss the draft with one or multiple models and get advice, may or may not take it, and draft revisions myself.
• Notes are entirely human written.
• Site code, navigation, captions, and simple explanatory text may be AI written, hand-tweaked where necessary.
• Tool code is a combination of human written and AI written/human reviewed - the older it is, the more human-written (not necessarily an endorsement).
• Site illustrations are typically Midjourney renders, though over time my own work may start to fill in where appropriate.

meta-note, in the process of writing this very text I skipped over to a plain text editor because VS Code kept trying to auto-complete my copy for me - frustrating!
