I answer for everything on this site. The thinking, the theology, the arguments, the judgment about what is worth publishing and what gets cut. None of that is delegated. I also use AI extensively, and this page is where I say exactly how.
The essays are mine. I put the thought on the page first, then the machine and I work it over, enriching and rewriting and arguing across many passes, until it says what I mean in the way I mean to say it. I am in every word of them, though some of those words came from the machine.
The instruments sit further along the same gradient. The ideas behind them are mine, but the documentation describing them is generated with AI and lightly edited. In an essay the wording is part of the argument; in a spec it isn't, since any phrasing that's clear and accurate will do. There's less reason for me to be in every sentence, so I check that the ideas are right and leave the prose alone.
The narrations are AI through and through, a synthetic voice reading the text on the page (until I can find a recording schedule that works around young children in the house). This one I read myself.
I work in technology, and I have built tools to suit the way that I want to work. Ones that push back, that hold the context that matters, and that encourage me to be more thoughtful in research and composition, rather than less. Many of the ideas explored here were developed that way, and I find it genuinely useful for testing arguments, surfacing connections, and exploring my own reasoning. (More of the last few essays arrived by dictation than by typing, this page included.)
This site wouldn't exist without AI, just as it wouldn't exist without me. Without AI, I wouldn't have the time to research, design, build, and maintain it. But because of AI, not only do I have the time, it's an utter pleasure doing so. Laytheo is a product of that effort, one made with love and passion.
I don't say that untroubled. There are serious moral questions about these tools, and I have not answered all of them to my own satisfaction. I use them anyway, and I am trying to make something beautiful and true.
Nor is the effort finally mine. That I have anything to say, that I have the time and the means to say it, that I am living when a tool like this exists: I thank the Lord for all of it. I would like to use it to bless someone besides myself.
