I use AI to help me write my Substack.

I use AI to research, to edit, and now and then for a turn of phrase I keep. The thinking is mine, the argument is mine, and every source here is one I have checked myself.

AI detection does not work. Trust what a writer tells you about their process before you trust a percentage from a tool that guesses. These scores fall hardest on people who write in a second language and on neurodiverse writers, who have already been judged their whole lives for how they speak and write.

Be kind. Be fair.
