AI Use Policy
How AI tools may be used in producing, editing, illustrating, and maintaining this site.
The AI Backlash is skeptical of AI hype, not allergic to tools. AI may be used in the workflow, but the publication should remain accountable for what it publishes.
Human Accountability
Published claims, final wording, article framing, and corrections remain human editorial responsibility. AI output should not be treated as a source of truth.
Images
Article images may be AI-generated or AI-assisted. They are editorial illustrations, not documentary photos, unless clearly labeled otherwise.
Boundaries
AI tools should not fabricate sources, invent quotes, impersonate real people, or convert speculation into claimed fact.
