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, for help with code, since I’m a dork, but not a really smart dork, and for marketing stuff like funnel analysis and website conversation optimization.

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.
