How these notes are written

I use generative AI when I write the notes on this site. This page explains how, so you can judge the texts accordingly.

Division of work

I decide what is investigated, why, and which conclusions are justified. That covers the question, the analytical framework, the criteria for including a source, the interpretation and the conclusions.

AI does operational work inside that frame: searching for literature, summarising and comparing publications, extracting claims, classifying material against my categories, proposing interpretations, arguing against mine, and pointing at gaps and inconsistencies.

Tools

Claude (Anthropic), via claude.ai, for the literature work, analysis and drafting. ChatGPT (OpenAI) for translating the finished text into Lithuanian, which I review.

What I verify and what I do not

I check the publications behind the claims that carry the argument. I do not check every reference the AI returned or every statement it extracted from a publication, and I do not claim to.

So the texts have two layers. The main line of argument is one I have followed back to originals and would defend. The supporting detail around it, secondary references and summaries of work I did not open myself, has not been verified to the same standard.

An AI statement is not evidence in itself. Where I relied on one without opening the source, the claim rests on that output alone.

Interpretations that AI proposed and that the literature then contradicted were dropped or reworked.

Scope

This applies to the articles and notes. The talks published on this site were prepared before I began using generative AI and were written without it.

The weekly digest of new requirements engineering papers is a third case, and a different one. It is compiled and published by a scheduled run with no review before publication: the abstracts are quoted from the sources, everything else in an entry is machine-written, and I do not see an entry before it appears. Each paper links to its source, which is what to read and what to cite.
