This website was created with the assistance of generative AI.
I asked myself whether telling you this truth was worthwhile, knowing your opinion would be affected most. I am using a DeepSeek model run by OpenCode. I have found that generative AI is extremely good at building websites — exceptionally good at presenting information and processing it via HTML, better than markdown.
I had the intention of writing the content for the actual pages myself. But I made the mistake of asking for citations instead of research topics. It honestly did a better job than I could have at this point in my academic writing skills. I also intend to use it on other projects now that I know how to leverage it best for transparency and design to be efficient. It is my goal to run these models locally, but I need the hardware first. I also do intend to properly sharpen my skills the way I was, until my life started coming undone.
Though I know I as a human am not running out of time, the projects I am pursuing are being actively pursued by others or will be soon. So I am trying to get a jump on the overall future. This means I have to cheat a little.
I justify this with: anyone that lived a normal life has had an inherent advantage. Most of what would have helped me achieve all this naturally was locked behind a paywall. I have free toolings now that will let me achieve my goals in a timeline that will actually matter for the world, not just me. I have always felt this type of pressure — that everything I was learning was meant to have a relatively early and large impact in my life, because it will take a life of managing the aftermath. If I take my time with this, then those subjects that I am a relative expert on in terms of theory and application but rusty on the implementation side, then — honestly, I trust the world to get in the right direction on its own. Except the environment is literally on the brink of collapse.
I hope my reasoning and confession can absolve me of my sin of generative AI.
