Here at IP/DE, we are big fans of generative AI. We've repeatedly written about AI cases, and I've been involved with speaking and writing about AI issues since 2018. We've also been using AI to create images for our posts for quite a while now, with varying levels of success.
That said, like everyone else, we're annoyed by the amount of AI-generated slop on the internet these days. The proportion of new real content seems to be rapidly shrinking, and eventually we'll be left with tiny little islands of actual material generated by living people with real feelings and experiences floating in an absolute flood of AI-generated junk.
I don't mind our own use of AI to generate images for our posts. Images make the posts more visually interesting and honestly, absent AI, it can be tough to find good graphics for some topics. Nate and I aren't artists, and AI lets us easily add nice little illustrations to make various points (points that—it's worth noting—we come up with ourselves).
But while we aren't artists, we are certainly authors. We do not use AI to generate posts for IP/DE. We write everything by hand, and plan to continue to do so. The value of our posts comes from the fact that they are written by real attorneys who actually practice in the District of Delaware on a day-to-day basis.
You can trust that the information you find here—right or wrong—was at least written by a real person who did their best to make it worth your time to read. If that ever needs to change, we'd sooner shut down the blog than move to AI-generated posts.
