I used AI tools during development, same as most people writing code right now. The research direction, experiments, and conclusions are mine I read the papers, designed the experiments, ran them, and documented where things broke. The repo includes 60+ experiment iterations, result logs showing failures, and documentation that corrects earlier optimistic claims. That's not a pattern you'd get from prompting a model to generate a project. I'm one person, so yes, AI helped with implementation. The research was mine.
