While artificial intelligence (AI) has many useful applications, it is certainly not a substitute for thinking and writing. In fact, it does a disservice to both reader and writer when used in this way. It would be hypocritical to write articles on what is essentially critical, independent thinking by using AI to do the thinking and writing. Therefore, my personal pledge is that AI will never be used, under any circumstances, to generate any conclusions or any text that appears on any of my posts. In addition, all research will be conducted using primary sources, books, and articles from reputable sources.
