My Position on AI
A public record of how I use AI in my work - which disciplines it touches, which it doesn't, and where the line sits between assistance and generation. Although I experiment with all creative tools at my disposal including AI, I prefer my personal creative output to come from my hands, brain, and vision alone, with AI used primarily as an assistant and production accelerant, taking on mechanical and process-based tasks that don't require a creative mind or human aesthetic.
The Practice
Six disciplines. What's real, not aspirational.
