AI

How I use, and don't use, AI.

How this site was built

This site was originally made with human effort back in 2024, in Next.js, after I finished my 10th (SEE). It started as a fork of leerob's 2021 portfolio, when I was new to Next.js and AI was barely used for coding. In mid 2025 I used some AI while testing the Cursor IDE, though I've forgotten the model names. This Astro port was migrated using Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, because I wanted to test its potential.

Blog posts

Some of my blogs are written using AI. Not the full content: they're guided by me, with the actual content I want. Still, that's what people hate, so I've added an AI tag to those posts so you're informed before reading.

What I don't use it for

I never use AI to write or reply to my emails, and I hope that stays true in the future too.

On this site

Most of the content on this website is not AI generated. It was migrated to Astro, not rewritten.

This page is inspired by Damola Morenikeji's /ai manifesto (opens in a new tab).
