I want to share a quick note about how AI works, especially regarding privacy. Tools like ChatGPT and other large language models aren’t conscious or aware; they don’t think or form opinions. Instead, they take the words you provide and try to mirror your tone and intention using patterns from a vast amount of publicly available information—like books, articles, and conversations.

This capability is valuable because these models have “read” more than any one person could in a lifetime. When they mirror your tone, they do so with a depth that can enhance clarity and unlock creative angles you might not have considered.

On this platform, when we use AI to summarize or shape your thoughts, it’s not “listening” or storing personal memories. It simply processes your input and provides a more readable version in return. The goal is clarity, not surveillance. AI is a tool, not magic, and it’s important for users to understand what happens when they hit submit.
