Why I
Don’t AI
Last updated April 12, 2025
As of today, no written words on this website—or in my newsletter or any of my published works—have been generated by AI. I use ChatGPT as a search engine since it leads me to answers faster than a traditional search engines, and for help with code, since I’m a dork, but not a really smart dork.
Writing my own words is better than using AI. The quality may not be as good—(goodly?)—but the only way I’ll become a stronger writer is by trying, and in some cases, striving, to improve. And that won’t happen if I use AI.
I was inspired to create this page by Derek Sivers, who was inspired to create his version of this page by Damola Morenikeji.
