AI Usage Policy ✨

Introduction 

I use AI tools across different formats: texts, podcast, images, and video. This page explains where the tool helps technically, where it influences the creative process itself—and how I mark that for the reader.

Where I use AI 

• Texts. From proofreading to co-authoring on phrasing and structure.
• Podcast. Transcripts, brief episode descriptions, show notes, notes inspired by episodes.
• Images and video. Generation and processing of visual materials for projects.
• Other. Translation, search, summaries, outlines, and organization of materials.

Basic labeling principle 

Minor assistance is not labeled: spelling and punctuation in texts, basic transcription and small description edits in the podcast, non-essential processing, conversion, and export for images and video. If AI’s involvement affects the way I work or the final form, I label such materials separately.

Labels for texts 

I mark only three cases—when AI is materially involved in the writing process.

Centaur 

The text is written in dialogue with a machine. Here AI is not a proofreader but a mirror and conversation partner. I formulate the idea, and it helps unfold it: suggests new angles, brings order, connects parts, clarifies the line of reasoning. The voice remains mine.

Dictation 

The source was a voice recording. Sometimes a note is born from live speech. I dictate it—for example, during a walk—into my phone. AI turns the audio into readable text: removes repetitions and filler words, smooths intonation, helps lay out the thought into paragraphs. My voice, rhythm, and intonation are preserved.

Based on the podcast 

The text is based on a key idea from an episode of my podcast. I take the main idea, expand it into a text, add clarifications and examples. AI helps adapt and structure it, and the podcast serves as the starting point.

Labels for other formats 

• Images and video. I mark AI involvement when I consider it important for context and perception.
• Podcast. If AI created the transcript or description, I note that when it matters for the listener.

How this appears on the site 

• Texts. I place the ✨ emoji next to the date, in the title meta tag, and add a short note at the bottom about AI’s role.
• Images and video. I label in the caption or directly under the work—for example: “AI-generated” or “AI processing.”
• Podcast. I indicate it on the episode page when it matters for the listener.
• Projects. I indicate it on the project page when it matters.

If there’s no label, it means AI only helped technically and didn’t influence the content—or I didn’t deem it important.

Principles 

• Transparency. I don’t hide the tools that help me work.
• Authorship. I am responsible for meaning and form. The tool does not replace my voice.
• Benefit to the reader. I label only what affects perception.
• Minimal noise. I don’t mark technical cleanup.
• Privacy. I don’t publish drafts, source recordings, or chat history unless necessary.
