Everything that you read on this website was written by me without the help of AI. I promise.

I, for one, am sick and tired of the word salads that are getting put on websites by people who feed some keywords in a large language model, and then copy-and-paste the results without any kind of critical thinking, or even a modicum of copy editing. (Even worse are the automatically-generated webpages that are created from the keywords in your search, where the only human in the process is you.) The result is usually something that looks like it should make sense, but winds up being confusing because you’re actually trying to navigate in a sea of errors.

I’ve also debated for a long time whether to try to block LLMs from scraping this site to feed their salad bowls. For now, I’ve decided that I will give it a try, using the Block AI Crawlers plugin for WordPress.
