Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

1. Purpose and Philosophy

This Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use Policy defines how technology is approached within this space. This blog is built on the belief that literature deserves to be engaged with thoughtfully, personally, and with intellectual honesty. The purpose of this policy is to preserve the authenticity of that engagement while maintaining transparency with readers.

2. Commitment to Original Thought

All book reviews, literary analyses, and essays published on this website are written entirely by the author. Each piece reflects independent interpretation, critical thinking, and personal engagement with the text.

No generative artificial intelligence tools are used to produce, draft, rewrite, or shape the analytical or creative substance of any content. The ideas presented here are formed through reading, reflection, and analysis—not automation.

3. Limited Technical Assistance

AI-assisted tools may be used in a minimal and strictly technical capacity. This includes functions such as:

  • Spell-checking

  • Grammar correction

  • Minor stylistic refinement

These tools serve only as editorial support, similar to traditional proofreading. They do not influence the structure, arguments, insights, or conclusions of any work.

4. Authorship and Intellectual Integrity

All interpretations, observations, and conclusions expressed on this website are the original work of the author. Literary analysis, by its nature, is a subjective and human process, and this space is committed to preserving that human perspective.

5. Transparency and Trust

Trust between writer and reader is essential. This policy exists to ensure clarity regarding how content is created and to affirm that the voice behind each piece is genuine and unassisted by generative AI.

6. Future Revisions

As technology evolves, this policy may be updated to reflect any changes in practice or standards. The effective date will be revised accordingly.

7. Disclosure

This policy document was prepared with the assistance of ChatGPT as a language and structuring tool. All final content decisions and approvals were made by the author.

For any questions regarding this policy, readers are welcome to reach out through the contact information provided on this website.
