AI-Assisted Use
AI-assisted technology can make creative work more accessible by helping people organize ideas, maintain focus, and complete work they might otherwise be unable to undertake. AI-assisted tools supported the development of The Neuroverse and this website. The storyline, characters, themes, and complex continuity are human-driven. All final creative decisions and published material remain the responsibility of Shawn Boley.
The cover artwork was created using generative AI. An analysis was conducted to identify its potential artistic influences, and the three artists identified as the closest possible influences were offered compensation in recognition of those concerns. This was undertaken as an effort to establish a more ethical precedent for the use of generative AI, and does not imply that any identified artist created or endorsed the cover.
