@felixgrace having said all that, I'm not even sure that the original question was for me or Amina, Lol.
But if it was for me, that's my answer.
I'd also like to ask, how much do you use AI in your work?

Where I think things get tricky, is whether this AI-generated content is your unedited, raw content, improved by...
