About Toni ...

I am an independent author. A proud ‘indie’ and a ‘human’ author. The following sets out my use of artificial intelligence (AI) in my creative work. All my books are products of my imagination. I do not use AI to produce my stories, including plot, character, or scenes, and my use of AI is consistent with the Alliance of Independent Authors and Amazon guidelines.   

"I declare use of AI and other tools where appropriate. I edit and curate the output of any generative text tool I use to ensure the text is not discriminatory, libelous, an infringement of copyright, or otherwise illegal or illicit. I recognize that it is my job, not the job of the AI tool or service I use, to ensure I am legally compliant." 

 AI-assisted: If you created the content yourself, and used AI-based tools to edit, refine, error-check, or otherwise improve that content (whether text or images), then it is considered “AI-assisted” and not “AI-generated.” Similarly, if you used an AI-based tool to brainstorm and generate ideas, but ultimately created the text or images yourself, this is also considered “AI-assisted” and not “AI-generated.” It is not necessary to inform us of the use of such tools or processes.
