How and Why I Use Large Language Models (LLMs)
1. My Ideas, My Work
- Purely Human-Created Artifacts
Any piece that has intrinsic artistic value—from short stories and poems to paintings or drawings—arises entirely from my own creativity. I never use LLMs to generate or co-create these types of works. - No AI-Generated Imagery
I do not use AI image-generation tools on principle. Visuals in my blog (photos, sketches, etc.) are entirely my own, or of human craftsmanship.
2. The Role of LLMs in My Writing
- Structuring Tool, Not a Substitute for Original Thought
I often think much faster than I can write. LLMs help me organize, refine, and clarify my thinking, but they never replace it. If a core idea isn’t solid on its own, no tool can fix that. - Autistic Perspective
As someone on the autism spectrum, clear communication is crucial for me. LLMs act as a sort of “digital assistant,” making sure my blog posts are structured and accessible without losing depth.
3. Boundaries: What LLMs Do and Do Not Do
- LLMs Help Me:
- Organize complex ideas into a logical sequence
- Identify inconsistencies or unclear points in my drafts
- Polish wording for readability and precision
- LLMs Never:
- Generate full articles, stories, or creative pieces from scratch
- Replace original thought, argumentation, or insight
- Produce anything intended to hold artistic or intellectual value on its own
4. Informational vs. Creative Content
- LLM-Assisted Informational Posts
- When my goal is to communicate information—explain a concept, share an insight, or guide a reader through logic—I may use an LLM to refine the structure or wording.
- These pieces remain 100% my ideas, simply polished for clarity.
- I will include a brief note at the end of the post if an LLM was used in this way.
- Fully Self-Created Content
- If a piece—especially anything intrinsically artistic—has no LLM involvement, there is no disclaimer.
- The writing, design, and expression come solely from me.
5. Why This Matters
- Maintaining Authenticity
My core purpose is to share genuinely human-generated ideas. I aim to avoid any confusion about how these ideas are formed and presented. - Open Communication
If you ever wonder how a post was composed—where LLM assistance began or ended—just ask. I’m committed to discussing my process openly.
6. Ongoing Commitment
This policy will evolve as I keep refining how best to balance my rapid stream of thoughts with the clarity LLMs provide. However, the foundation stays the same:
- No AI generation for creative artifacts that stand on their own as artistic works.
- Structured, proof-based thinking is entirely my own.
- LLMs assist only with making my writing more coherent, never replacing human insight.
Thank you for reading—and for valuing a transparent approach to modern writing tools!
