As of today, , here is how I use generative AI/LLM tools.
I use [OpenRouter.ai](https://openrouter.ai/) to direct my questions to any variety of LLMs.
Usually on the command line, using the [llm](https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/) tool.
For programming, I ask it how to do things I don’t know how to do. Then I use what I’ve learned in my own code.
I never have it do the coding for me.
I never use AI to write as me. ** No emails. No sentences in my articles or books or even comments. Nothing pretending to be me. **
I enjoy the challenge of writing myself. It’s organized thinking. ** It’s the doing I want, not having it done. ** See
[my article “It’s about being, not having”](/being)for more thoughts on this.
While I’m writing, I often ask it the kinds of things I would ask a friend sitting next to me. Like, “What are examples of different ways of seeing life that are impossible to prove or disprove?” Or, “What professions most use a physical toolbox?”
But again, the real point of this page is to let you know that nothing claiming to be written by me is written by an AI.
If this changes in the future, I’ll update this page at this permanent URL:

This page is suggested by
Damola, here. (Check out his blog. He’s great.)
