I use AI assistants as part of my development toolkit. They help me explore approaches, troubleshoot problems, discuss implementation choices, and speed up routine work. They can also suggest or draft code.
There is an important distinction in how AI is used. “AI-assisted development” means a person directs the work and uses AI as one tool in the process. “AI-generated” describes output produced by a generative model. Since coding assistants can generate code, some of my development is AI-assisted, and I won’t claim otherwise.
I don’t use generative AI to make the artwork, music, or other finished creative pieces I publish. For this site, AI has been used as a coding assistant. That is different from claiming the visual identity, assets, and finished experience were autonomously generated.
