I just added the following information to the About<\/a> page of this site, but it\u2019s important enough that it warranted a post of its own. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Updated July 10, 2026 to add a couple of footnotes for further clarity.<\/em><\/p>\n

Full Disclosure Regarding AI Content on TGB<\/h2>\n

Discerning visitors will easily recognize that the themed graphics on this site\u2014the blog banner, main page graphics, and recurring post graphics\u2014are all AI-generated to some extent.<\/p>\n

You are correct. All these images\u2014or rather,\u00a0the decorative text and divider line contained in these images<\/strong>\u00a0that matches the blog banner, at least\u2014were all generated in ChatGPT.<\/p>\n

I used Photoshop to remove everything except the text in the banner image, uploaded it to ChatGPT, and prompted it to alter the text to read About Me, etc., to enable me to use that matching text for other graphics.<\/p>\n

I then copied that text (as well as the decorative divider line, already \u2018cut\u2019 from the original AI-generated graphic) to make an overlay in Photoshop that I could use for the recurring post graphics templates (Book Reviews<\/a>,\u00a0Music Monday<\/a>, etc.) that I\u2019d previously put together on\u00a0Canva<\/a>. With the exception of the blog banner and the site icon\/profile picture, all matching graphics were completed using free Canva templates. The blog banner and site icon\/profile picture are 100% AI-generated via ChatGPT.<\/p>\n

Why Did You Use AI-Generated Graphics?<\/h3>\n

My blog is a labor of love. The reviews I publish here generally take me anywhere from three to four hours to write and proofread, with upwards of another hour spent to create the necessary graphics, fine-tune the layout of each post, and find the relevant information about each book that I typically share on each post.<\/p>\n

I do not receive any monetary compensation\u00a0whatsoever\u00a0for any of this.<\/strong>\u00a0The only \u201cperk\u201d available to me is that I receive is a free copy of a book to read before it is published and available to the general public.<\/p>\n

This is not a complaint. It\u2019s a simple statement of fact.<\/p>\n

This being the case, other than occasionally paying for a Canva subscription to enable me to access premium content, I mostly make use of free resources to create content here, as I cannot justify pouring money into something that I do as a hobby.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Where It Gets Tricky\u2026<\/h3>\n

While I am comfortable with my decision to use AI to generate a themed set of graphics on TGB, I generally despise AI-generated content, particularly\u00a0written<\/strong>\u00a0AI content. Sounds grossly hypocritical, right? Yeah. I acknowledge that.\u00a0\ud83d\ude33 I offer no defense on this; I can only say that people can often be contradictory.<\/p>\n

So Your Main Graphics Are AI Slop\u2026 Anything Else?!<\/h3>\n

Absolutely not.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As I noted above, I especially despise written content that is AI-generated. (My block list on Facebook can attest to this\u2014I block every page\/profile I find that is lousy with AI-written garbage.)<\/p>\n

Every review you see here\u2014grammar mistakes and awkward phrasings galore\u2014are all written and proofread (often-times with mixed success) by me.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t let the use of the em dashes fool you1<\/a><\/sup> (which I\u2019ve recently come to discover is supposedly an \u201cAI tell\u201d). Any written content you see on TGB was written by me, or by an author who graciously consented to either an interview or a guest article.<\/p>\n

I have made liberal use of em dashes throughout the history of this blog (which pre-dates AI), and will continue to do so in the future, because it is a useful bit of punctuation. It has long been a fixture of my preferred writing style (both for the blog, and informal writings on social media), and it will continue to be so. If that means uninformed people will assume I\u2019ve used AI to write something, then so be it.<\/p>\n

What About AI-Written, Narrated, or Illustrated Books?<\/h3>\n

I will never knowingly review and\/or promote a book that is either written, narrated, or illustrated2<\/a><\/sup> by AI. Nor, for that matter, will I publish author interviews or guest articles that I suspect have been \u201cwritten\u201d by AI.<\/p>\n

Should I ever discover I have inadvertently promoted an AI-written, narrated, or illustrated book, or shared an interview or guest article that was \u201cwritten\u201d by AI, I will immediately remove the review, interview, or guest article from every platform I shared it on, and denounce it as AI slop. (If I can call my own blog\u2019s main graphics \u201cAI slop\u201d, I have no problem referring to books as such.)<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts on AI<\/h3>\n

AI can never be a replacement for the creativity and innovation of people. AI-generated art, writing, and music pales in comparison to what artists, authors, and musicians can create, no matter how much someone, myself included, might enjoy certain types of AI-generated content. A machine can never possess the emotional depth of a human being, and while it can make something pretty (like my themed blog graphics), it will never, ever be as good as something created by a living person.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t debatable\u2014a machine can never reach, and isn\u2019t capable of, that level of artistic perfection and intense emotional depth.<\/p>\n

That said\u2014whether we like it or not\u2014I believe AI is here to stay. Yes, there are a myriad of issues surrounding the use of AI\u2014including, among other things, environmental concerns and artistic theft\u2014and those issues will take time (perhaps years) to sort out and regulate appropriately, but it\u2019s not going anywhere, so we might as well get used to it.<\/p>\n
