AI
Automation without erasure
AI has a shadow because the wrong people got to it first.
But leaving it in their hands only keeps the bias alive. Aligned AI is about reclaiming the tool and training it to reflect you instead of flatten you.
Think of it as your brain, but with a faster processor and a bigger library. When used with curiosity and ethics, AI stops being a threat and starts being leverage: pattern recognition that exposes new connections, scaffolding for conversations that shift power, and amplification for creators who’ve been overlooked. It’s not here to replace your work. It’s here to stretch it, strengthen it, and make sure it actually lands.
There’s a lot of noise right now about AI.
One side wants to sell it as salvation.
The other wants to frame it as the death of human creativity.
Cute binaries. Still wrong.
Here’s where I sit, awkward as ever.
AI is a tool I use with intention. Not as a replacement for taste, lived experience, strategy, intuition, pattern recognition, or the weird little sparks that make creative work feel alive. I use it for brainstorming, research, drafting, organizing messy thoughts, testing angles, and exploring images or ideas before I know exactly what I’m looking for.
In my personal work, I use AI as a creative and strategic mirror.
Sometimes it helps me name what I already know.
Sometimes it gives me something bland enough to rebel against. Sometimes it helps me ask better questions about the systems we’re all being asked to use before most of us have agreed to the terms.
And yes, I experiment with AI-generated imagery. I’m not selling it as art. I’m using it to explore mood, pattern, identity, distortion, visibility, and what these tools do or do not understand about bodies, queerness, gender, beauty, power, softness, weirdness, and refusal. If you're curiousity is peaked, just ask.
In client work, AI will never be the sneaky little ghost in the room.
If it enters the project, you’ll know. You’ll know what tool was used, how it was used, and what it helped produce. You can ask questions. You can set boundaries. You can opt out.
AI is not the ethics.
The ethics live in the hands holding it.
And around here, the hands are paying attention.
