Two people are sitting under the branches of large, leafy trees by the shore of a calm lake. The trees frame the scene, their silhouettes creating a natural arch against the sky. The lake stretches out in front of them, its surface serene and reflective, leading to distant hills and mountains on the horizon. The image is in black and white, adding a timeless and peaceful atmosphere to the scene. Shot on Trasimeno Lake, Italy in 2021 by me.

Disclaimer - On AI and this blog

I'm not anti-AI, but...

Writing a personal blog requires authenticity and a level of commitment that, if you're not willing to invest, means it’s better not to start at all.
This blog is a space for me to express myself directly, so it would make no sense to use an automatic text generator to convey my thoughts.

That said, I believe a language model can be a very useful support tool—much like how we were allowed to use calculators during trigonometry, algebra, or calculus tests in school.
A calculator is completely useless if you don’t understand how logarithms work, after all.

I occasionally use AI as a support tool for translations or research—only in clearly marked posts, collected under a dedicated "AI-Assisted" tag.
All creative content, however, remains entirely human.
