We believe the use of generative-AI removes or interrupts the creative process and therefore disassociates the work from the author. In this way we believe the work becomes inconsiderate and inauthentic

Across everything we do, any and all work we produce has been created by people, without the use of generative AI at any stage

We do not use generative-AI at any stage in preparation or production, or in any element contained in or associated with our work. Anyone we collaborate with must also satisfy these terms

We are permitted to use AI tools for research or educational purposes (such as when searching for information online, or learning new skills) but no content from these tools may make its way into our finished work

We are permitted to use AI tools for computer programming when the use of those tools is exclusively for convenience. This includes automating or speeding up repetitive tasks, implementing standard patterns, or exploring the codebase to identify problems. Permitted use does not include any aspect of user interface design, game design, or creation of any of the content included within any app or program. Unlike when creating art, in the vast majority of computer programming there is one correct output, or a single proper way to implement a solution. In these cases, if the output from any proficient human would be identical to that of an AI tool, we permit the use of that tool
