No slop zone

I am going to write these posts without content generated by AI. This article is a public accountability measure.

My first article, Why I'm Building This, was co-written with AI, and you can tell. It is fine, and I will leave it as it is as a reminder to be better.

The exception is that I will still use AI to coach me and suggest structural or grammatical improvements. I need to work on my written communication, and that help is useful. Otherwise, these posts will be my words.

Like many of you, I have a distaste for AI slop. I built this site agentically, meaning I did not write a single line of the code that runs it. That is fine. Other software is the main thing that needs to read that code. It just needs to work.

The words, formed into sentences and displayed for you to read, are inherently more human. I'd like them to represent this journey and my learnings as authentically as I can.

Let us see how long that lasts.
