AI usage

You can find my broader thoughts on AI in this article.

This website has always been a window out to the world but also a playground, and as someone working at the edge of tech I've tried various AI agents on it at times to experiment with their capabilities, at times to automate menial tasks like when I ported the website from Next.js to Laravel which required several tedious basic translations.
But as a fervent old guard "every line a painting" developer I pride myself in knowing and loving every line of this codebase, and I try to keep full ownership of it and of its bugs and quirks.

When it comes to my entire body of art: writings, visuals, photos, music, etc. all of it is human and from my heart, none of my drawings or tracks or whatever are AI generated. While I enjoy synthetic art as a genre of its own, what I love with art before all is the humanity left infused in it by its creator, what it means of the greater context the piece emerged in, about the meaning that transpires from it whether intended or not.

Because of said interest in synthart there remains the one exception to my art rule, as you'll find old Midjourney stills featured in my Visuals page, but they're clearly marked as such, hidden by default, and come with an entire warning about what they mean to me.
Additionally I grouped my older works done in video games with them, as I really wanted to stress that what makes me do that is to separate things that are truly my own from things that are not!

When it comes to my packages and websites they are all unfortunately handwritten, besides this one which is a special case as mentioned above but that I still consider written by me.
