Here at criticalimperative.com, we love tech, so we’re not interested in ignoring or avoiding AI. However, we also like good content and we’ve no intention of dumping more “AI slop” onto the Internet.
How We Use AI
We use AI to:
- Assist with the editing of human-written posts;
- Help us brainstorm post ideas based on existing content;
- Research topics and provide references;
- Generate many of the images that we use for decorative purposes on our posts.
The Technical Details
We only use local, offline models installed within our network. Using Ollama, Python, and open-source models, we’ve set up a workflow that allows us to interact with AI like junior staff members (mostly because we can’t afford actual junior staff members).
In subsequent posts, we’ll likely talk more about the technical details associated with our AI use.
