Artificial intelligence tools are becoming part of the landscape of content creation. At Corey.gl, we believe in being transparent about how — and when — AI is used in our work.
๐ง Our position
The stories, perspectives, research, and experiences published on Corey.gl are fundamentally human — rooted in Corey's lived experience, personal research, community engagement, and passion for local heritage.
AI tools may assist in aspects of the writing and editing process, but they do not replace the human authorship, judgment, or authenticity behind each piece. Where AI assistance has played a meaningful role in the production of a piece of content, this will be disclosed.
๐How AI may be used
AI tools may be used on this site for the following purposes:
- Drafting assistance — generating initial drafts or structural outlines that are then substantially edited, refined, fact-checked, and verified by Corey before publication.
- Editing and proofreading — checking grammar, clarity, tone, and consistency.
- Summarisation — condensing source material or research notes as a starting point for original writing, with all facts independently verified.
- Code assistance — supporting the development and maintenance of this website.
- Research support — helping to identify sources, context, and background information, which is always independently verified before use.
- Image generation — AI-generated images may be used where clearly identified as such.
๐ซ What AI is not used for
Regardless of how AI tools develop, the following uses are not permitted on this site:
- Fabricating or inventing historical facts, dates, people, or events.
- Generating fake reviews, testimonials, or community endorsements.
- Replacing original research, firsthand reporting, or genuine community engagement.
- Publishing AI-generated content as if it were entirely the author's own work, without disclosure.
- Using AI to produce content that is misleading, defamatory, or harmful.
โ Accuracy and verification
All factual claims published on Corey.gl — whether AI-assisted or not — are subject to human review and verification prior to publication. AI tools are known to produce inaccurate or fabricated information ("hallucinations"), and we take responsibility for catching and correcting errors before they reach readers.
If you identify an error in any published content, please contact us and we will investigate and correct promptly.
๐ Privacy and third-party tools
When AI tools are used in content creation, we take care not to input personal information about individuals, community members, or third parties into external AI systems. Content involving real people is always reviewed carefully before publication.
AI tools used in our workflow are subject to the privacy policies of their respective providers. We do not share personal data submitted through this website with AI systems.
๐ How this policy will evolve
AI tools and capabilities are changing rapidly. This policy will be reviewed and updated regularly to reflect how our practices evolve and to remain consistent with emerging standards for AI transparency in publishing. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
We welcome feedback on this policy. If you have questions or concerns about our use of AI, please get in touch.
