Hey, I wrote this! There are a couple of reasons that I included the disclosure.

The main one is to set reader expectations that any errors are entirely my own, and that I spent time reviewing the details of the work. The disclosure seemed to me a concise way to do that -- my intention was not any form of anti-AI virtue signaling.

The other reason is that I may use AI for some of my future work, and as a reader, I would prefer a disclosure about that. So I figured if I'm going to disclose using it, I might as well disclose not using it.

I linked to other thoughts on AI just in case others are interested in what I have to say. I don't stand to gain anything from what I write, and I don't even have analytics to tell me more people are viewing it.

All in all, I was just trying to be transparent, and share my work.

That's nice to hear. For me personally, I don't really care what tools the author uses to write the article, as long as the author takes responsibility! Yes, that means I'll blame you for everything I see in the article :P

Your actor analogy in your other post about AI doesn't really work when it comes to using LLMs for coding, at least. LLMs are pretty good at writing working code, especially given suitable guidance. An actor wouldn't be able fake their way through that.
