Creative work

I run a blog on both Medium and Substack. I take my thoughts as well as anything that might be trending online and write about it in a funny way. I often share links to things I like or newsworthy stories.

How this certification was verified

Proudly Human reviewed the writer's application, declaration to adhere to de minimis use of AI, and representative works before issuing this certification.

What this certification covers

I've always written my own work because I think I'm pretty damn funny, and no AI tool could ever replicate my thoughts on paper as well as I do. I love to share my thinking, even when it's controversial and I would never like AI to take that away from me. This is why I should be certified as human‑authored. I do use AI for a few parts of my process - I use an SEO tool to suggest better headlines and sun headlines so that my work ranks better in search engines, I use ChatGPT to find links to stories I want to share, especially when I can't remember where I saw something but previously read it and wanted to include it in an article, I use tools to edit images and turn them into cartoon versions of me as I don't want my real face shown, I sometimes use AI tools to check my grammar and spelling, as well as if I'm writing a long‑form article, if I've repeated myself, as I tend to do! However, all content is written by me.
