However, there are some sections that have been generated by AI, particularly the References; which elaborates on the exact procedures that were used in that section.
I want to be fully transparent about usage, so this page serves as a central reference for all AI generated content within the project. It is linked from the main index, and will be referenced in documents that have relied on AI.
Why the sparkle emoji? People seem to have naturally started associating it with AI; both positively and negatively. In some cases it has been used as a sarcastic reference to the “magic” of AI.
