The honest version, because that's what builds trust.
What's mine
Every framework, every claim, every strategic position on this site is mine. The thinking, the synthesis, the positioning, the contrarian takes — those are the work.
So is the editorial judgment about what to publish, what to cut, and what tone is right.
Where AI shows up
- Drafting and editing. I use Claude (Anthropic's model) heavily to expand outlines into prose, find the right sentence structure, catch repetition, and ask hard questions about my own arguments.
- Research synthesis. When pulling together notes from books, transcripts, and previous essays, AI helps me find the connections faster.
- Code and infrastructure. This website is built with Claude Code — Claude writes most of the implementation; I direct the architecture and review what ships.
- Operational support. Scheduling, formatting, file management, and the boring middle of producing content.
Where AI doesn't show up
- The frameworks themselves. Names, structures, and the underlying intellectual property are mine.
- Lived experience and Catholic conviction. The faith content is mine. The personal stories are mine.
- Final judgment on what gets published. AI can draft and suggest; the publish button is mine.
Why I'm transparent about it
Two reasons:
- The integration is the work. A core thesis of this site is that AI should be a force multiplier for human creators, not a replacement. Hiding it would contradict the message.
- Trust requires it. If you read something here, you deserve to know that a real human stood behind it, even if a model helped shape the prose.
What I won't do
- Publish AI-generated content as if a human wrote it line-by-line
- Use AI to fake credentials, testimonials, or quotations
- Generate images of real people (including myself) in scenarios that didn't happen
- Use AI to mass-produce low-effort content for SEO or volume
If a piece on this site doesn't feel like it's mine, that's a bug — not the goal.
