Is any of this written by artificial intelligence?

Some of the writing on this site is drafted with AI, from Loren Weisman’s own words. He uses Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, to build, format and check this site and to draft text from his published pages, transcripts and notes. On 8 November 2026 the question and answer sections across the site were rewritten that way. The quotes attributed to him are his own words, and the podcast episodes are him talking. This page sets out where AI is used and where it is not.

Anyone can claim experience. Fewer will put in writing where their words come from. This page is published so the claim can be checked, and so a reader, a client, a journalist or an event organizer has something specific to hold the work against. It also reserves rights against this content being used to train models.

AI Usage Statement

Effective August 20, 2026. Last updated November 8, 2026.

This page states how artificial intelligence is and is not used in the work of Loren Weisman and on lorenweisman.com. It is here so that anyone reading, listening, hiring, or citing this work can see the position in plain terms rather than guess at it.

The Position

In the Artificial Intelligence Statement episode of the Wait What Really OK podcast, the statement was given directly:

We will not, we have not and we are not creating any kind of content using artificial intelligence. We research information and we may use aspects of AI research to find different stories, different articles, but also at the same time who wrote them, when they were written, where they came from, all of that.

Source: Artificial Intelligence Statement, Wait What Really OK podcast transcription.

That was the position when the episode was recorded. The practice has changed since then, and this page says how AI is used now.

What AI Does Not Make

The quotes attributed to Loren Weisman, here and anywhere else.
The podcast episodes and what is said in them.
The talks, the keynotes, and the advice given in a client engagement.
The facts in the bio and the credits, which come from his own record.

Where AI Tools Are Used

The position is not opposition to the technology. As stated in the same episode, artificial intelligence used in a responsible, accountable, and transparent way can be a tool for people who bring the experience and the authority themselves. These are the places AI tools are used here:

Drafting and rewriting site text, such as page copy and the question and answer sections, from Loren Weisman’s own published words, transcripts and notes.
Building, formatting and checking the site: pages, code, links, structured data and accessibility. The site runs the AI Engine plugin, which connects AI tools to the site for this work.
Research assistance to locate stories, articles, and sources, followed by checking who wrote a source, when it was written, and where it came from.
Grammar checking, proofreading, and consistency passes.
Audio cleanup, mixing and mastering in production, such as reducing noise and pops.
Search optimization tasks.
Transcription of recorded audio, checked against the recording.

A tool that drafts from his words does not decide what he thinks. A tool that finds an article does not decide whether the article is credible. Those decisions stay with the person whose name is on the work.

Disclosure

This page is the disclosure for the AI assisted writing across the site. Where a book, an image, a voice or a sound on this site was made with AI, the page where it appears says so too, as the Wordy Worded Words page does for that satire. Nothing here is presented as human authored when it is not.

Reservation of Rights for Training

The use of any content from this website to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models is not authorized without prior written permission. This is an express reservation of rights, including any reservation available under applicable text and data mining law. It covers the written pages, the podcast audio, the transcriptions, the images, and the video.

Why This Page Exists

Anyone can claim experience. Fewer will put in writing where their words come from. This statement is published so that the claim can be checked, and so that a reader, a client, a journalist, or an event organizer has something specific to hold the work against.
