Inspired by a story from Clownfish TV about an author who was dropped from her book deal over allegations of inappropriate use of AI I thought it a good idea to have an AI policy for this blog and to state where I stand on the issue of AI.
I don’t use AI for writing or editing or punctuation and I trust any guest posters to hold to the same standard. When I do need input on grammar and phrasing then I am lucky enough to be able to go and chat to some human grammar fascists of my acquaintance. The only robotic system I use on here is a spellchecker.
If in research I come across a summary written by AI I tend to double check it with other sources and not mindlessly trust it. I nearly bricked a radio by following AI hallucinated instructions on programming it and only didn’t brick it because half way through the procedure I couldn’t escape from the worry that the instructions were not quite right for my model of radio.
If I use AI images then I will say so. However stuff edited with GIMP or Photoshop might not be labelled as such.
This blog will use no robotic equipment that doesn’t conform to Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics. There will be no murderous robots, disobedient robots or robots that if they were human would win a Darwin award on this site.
