Generative AI Statement

I do not, have not, and will not use generative Arificial Intelligence (hereafter, “genAI”) or Large Language Models (LLM) in any part of my writing process. This includes, but is not limited to, brainstorming, researching, drafting, writing, editing, and revising. In addition, I do not consent to any part of my writing being ingested by, or used to train genAI LLMs. All of my writing is my own intellectual property created by my brain, voice, hands, and heart, including content on this website and on social media.

I believe in the beauty and importance of creativity in art and stories to express emotions, to share human experiences and ideas, to inspire, and to ask questions. I believe in art created by humans for humans.

“Art only lasts if we continue to ask questions, if we continue to believe in the mystery. If humanity stops thinking, we take it all for granted.” - Chapter 42, Aphrodite in Pieces by Lauren JA Bear

“It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading to heretical direction.” - Ch 9, 1984, George Orwell
