What is AI-Assisted Content?

Definition:

AI-assisted content is created using artificial intelligence tools (like ChatGPT, Claude, Jasper, or similar) to help with writing, research, organization, and editing—but always with human oversight and final control.

What AI Does:

• Checks grammar and spelling
• Formats content consistently

What AI Does NOT Do:

• Replace veterinary expertise
• Make medical recommendations
• Publish content without human review
• Interact with readers directly
• Make editorial decisions
• Provide final fact-checking

AI Limitations We’re Aware Of

What AI Can Get Wrong:

❌ Factual Errors (“Hallucinations”)

• AI sometimes generates false information confidently
• May cite non-existent studies or sources
• Can confuse similar concepts
• Our solution: Rigorous fact-checking of all claims

❌ Outdated Information

• May not know latest research or products
• Can provide outdated recommendations
• Our solution: Verify all information against current sources

❌ Lack of Nuance

• AI misses subtle distinctions
• May oversimplify complex topics
• Doesn’t understand context fully
• Our solution: Human editors add nuance and context

❌ No Real-World Experience

• AI hasn’t actually raised a puppy
• Doesn’t have hands-on experience
• Can’t relate personal stories
• Our solution: We add real experiences and examples

❌ No Professional Expertise

• AI is not a veterinarian
• Cannot diagnose medical conditions
• Shouldn’t provide medical advice
• Our solution: Clear disclaimers + expert verification

What AI Will NEVER Do on Our Site

Absolute Prohibitions:

❌ Provide Veterinary Medical Advice

• AI cannot and will not diagnose conditions
• Will not prescribe treatments
• Cannot replace veterinarian consultation
• All medical content is verified by humans against vet sources

❌ Make Editorial Decisions

• Humans decide what gets published
• Humans determine content priorities
• Humans make strategic choices
• AI is a tool, not a decision-maker

❌ Interact With Readers

• All comments are answered by humans
• Email responses are written by humans
• Customer service is human-provided
• AI does not engage with our community

❌ Replace Expert Oversight

• Health content always verified by humans
• Training advice checked against expert consensus
• Product reviews include human testing/research
• Local recommendations verified manually

❌ Publish Without Review

• No AI-generated content goes live without human approval
• Every article is read and edited by humans
• Quality standards enforced by humans
• Final say is always human
