100% I write and draw everything myself, besides working with editors and proofreaders.

Everything I write is 100% human written. I had been using AI images for my story thumbnails, but I'm in the process of phasing those out.

Yeah, the whole image thing is tricky. I have moved you into the AI Free Zone. Good to keep things human. Getting pretty challenging for us creatives.

All human always, no AI in my writing or the art that I choose to display.

My writing is 100% me. The only thing I’ve ever used AI for was to see if it could help me grok the apparently monumental task of transforming my fantasy novel’s sing-songy prophesy poem into dactylic hexameter, when all my poet friends ran scream-laughing, and the local poetry group looked down their noses at me because the original used the juvenile art of rhyming. 🤣 I told them I didn’t want the end product to rhyme, it was just what popped out by the dancer and prose writer, not poet. Didn’t matter. So I asked AI about it. It was hiiiiighly entertaining (and abysmal) in its attempts to help me. It did, however, eventually compile enough research about this ancient form and why trying to tackle it in English is so hard, which helped me hack a version together that I don’t hate by trying to copy my Iliad translation’s rhythm. 🤣🤓😵‍💫🤪 Closest I’ve ever gotten to using AI for anything. Run awaaaay! I don’t even allow Siri in my house or car.

Thanks so much for the mention! Writing, images, voiceovers entirely AI-free. I take my own photos and do my own audio editing. Means I usually don't get more than 1 post out a week, but I'm not going for volume and growth isn't a strategy.

Thanks for including me as well. I'm completely AI free. Every book written with my own bundle of Appalachian insecurities.

Thanks for including me! And, yes, though the A.I. sometimes finds its way in through images (though I don’t generate any myself), the words are all me all the time.

Yeah, I seen more and more AI generated images when I do an image search on Startpage(dot)com. Anyway, welcome to the AI Free Zone!

I might be a skeleton, but a fully human one (and I write as such).

Hello! I am not on the list but I am completely human powered! Artwork is commissioned from real humans, graphics are made by my real human husband, pictures were taken by myself or other real human photographers, and all of my writing, brainstorming, and editing is done by myself.
