How AI Is Used

I want to be upfront about what is and isn't AI-generated content, since its use comes at a cost to trust. The short of it: we use AI for coding the website, for structuring and recalling information, and for building the engines behind various features on the site. No AI is used to create anything related to esoteric content beyond serving as a study guide and research assistant. No ritual, correspondence, or meaning is attributed to AI. Wherever interpretation is required, I, Evander, make that interpretation myself. Examples include the Tarot meanings and the Planet-in-House meanings. I personally wrote those passages, with help from sources written by humans and cited on the Citations & Trust page. All other reference material is strictly obtained from sourcebooks and public domain sources where available.

The golden rule: AI may be used to facilitate organization, presentation, and study. No AI influence exists in the reference material itself.

That said, let me be clear about which parts of this website AI was used to create:

⚙ Built With AI
  • The website's HTML, CSS, and JS
  • Researching, procuring, and validating the authority of source materials and citable works
  • Study engines like the flashcards and the Sky Mapping Engine
  • The engines behind Tarot and Rune castings, spread randomization, and display
  • Bran the mascot's artwork
  • The quip engine behind Bran's remarks
  • Assembling information onto each page
  • Customizing website elements like theme styling and text options

In short: the coding, the organization of information, and the logic behind the engines used to test that knowledge were built with AI. All reference material is sourced from cited human authors, as close to the original texts as I could get.
