We do not use AI in any stage of our work.1We do not use SI, or LLM’s, or any other alias for AI, either. We firmly believe that AI is morally, ethically and aesthetically bankrupt, and we look forward to the day when we can add ‘financially’ to that list.

We may reference policies and statements from parties and candidates that may have been generated using AI. This is in no way an endorsement of using AI, simply the reality of the situation. We do not approve of this practice, and we will call it out when we see it, but it seems pretty much inevitable that some candidates or parties will likely engage in it.

We have added this image to our sidebar in order to really drive this home:

We explicitly do not give permission for AI to be used to scrape, sample, or in any way reproduce our work. If anyone finds our work as part of AI-generated content, we’d appreciate it if you let us know by leaving a comment here.
