Authentic Content Only: My Non-AI Pledge

In light of all the recent AI advances and their prevalence across the internet, especially on blogs and social media pages, I have investigated these tools and spent a lot of time and thought determining what place they might have in my writing and content. And upon this reflection,

I pledge to:

  • not use AI-generated images or written content on my blog or social media platforms
  • to notify you my readers if I change this policy at some point in the future

I have been watching AI explode as a tool in the blogging, advertising, and social media content creation spaces in recent months, and while it's impressive what AI can do, I also feel like its inherently incompatible with the core of what I want to offer as a writer, and what I like to consume as a reader and viewer. I haven't used AI to generate the images or text for my books, on this site, or for my social media channels, and I plan to keep it that way.

I want to produce content that is authentic, accurate, and creative. AI can't do that, and I believe using AI undermines reader trust that I can do that. So, I wanted to put this out there for my readers.

I am also joining the Real Bloggers movement, which seems like a great place to find other writers and content creators committed to human-created, authentic content. 

And I urge you to exercise caution when consuming media; AI is pervasive across the internet, and it often results in incorrect and weird information and images being shared as factual. It can be fun, it can be useful but at the end of the day, I just find myself on the side of it not being worth the loss of authenticity, accuracy, and creativity. 

I hope the content that I create will keep being interesting and useful to all of you, and I truly appreciate you being here! Reach out anytime via email or by sending a message to my blog page.

Little Chicago Deli is coming back to Sioux City!

Sioux City's newest eatery isn't actually new--it's just the newest iteration of a classic! Little Chicago Deli is opening in a new location just a couple doors down from the original restaurant, and they're opening on Friday May 31, 2024, for pickup orders and delivery, with the dining lobby opening later in summer 2024. Here's the info we have so far on Sioux City's new Little Chicago Deli: History of Little Chicago Deli Little Chicago Deli has been around Sioux City since 1988 as a locally owned sandwich shop, but unfortunately the previous location closed in 2017. Prior to that, I remember going there in college while I was doing an internship downtown, and I was sad to hear the original closed. But new owners, including some staff from the old Little Chicago Deli, are bringing it back in 2024! The name pays homage to local legends about Sioux City during Prohibition. For starters, Prohibition was widely ignored in Sioux City...
