I am writing here today to say that everything on this website is created by a real human sitting behind a screen.

As time has gone on, it has become harder to tell what is written by man and what is created by machine. I only see this effect getting stronger. As such, I want this article to be a dedication to the idea that this entire domain "jakerowe.me" is genuinely created/written/photographed by me. In the coming weeks, I will be removing any AI imagery and text. This is a website designed to reflect who I am as a person and the things I like to do. AI has no place in this site. I will also be eliminating any stock photos as I want all content on this site to be my own work (unless marked otherwise).

I also would like to limit my AI use moving forward in general. I will use it to answer quick, one-off questions, but will not be using it for heavy creative lifting. I view it as a tool for brainstorming, not a final product. I want my future ideas to be genuine.

I want my time on the planet to be real.

Signed,

Jake Rowe
