PRESS AND CITATION
For journalists and researchers: descriptions, citation formats, reuse terms, and a standing offer to correct anything…
Who writes it
The site is written under a persona, "the writer", by an anonymous practitioner who works professionally in generative AI. That is disclosed on the about page and treated as a conflict of interest to be stated rather than hidden.
Why anonymous: so the argument is judged on its sourcing rather than on the author's employer or reputation. Everything asserted here is checkable without knowing who wrote it — which is the point. Requests to verify credentials privately for a specific story will be answered on a case-by-case basis by email.
Machine assistance is disclosed. Parts of this site are produced with AI tooling, which is stated openly rather than concealed — a site arguing for provenance should not obscure its own.
How to cite it
Most figures on this site come from somewhere else — the FBI's Internet Crime Report, the IEA's Energy and AI, a named peer-reviewed paper. Where a page is only relaying a source, cite that source. Every page names its sources for exactly this reason. This site would rather be the route to the evidence than a substitute for it, and a citation that stops here when it could have gone further is a weaker citation.
Cite this site directly when you are referring to its own work: the analysis, the framing, the corrections log, the method, or a figure it compiled itself such as the quarterly record.
What you may reuse
Yes, freely
- Quote any passage with attribution and a link.
- Reproduce the household guide in full for non-commercial safety education — print it, hand it out, put it in a newsletter for residents, patients or students.
- Use the figures, citing the primary source named on the page.
- Link to anything. No permission needed, ever.
Ask first
- Republishing a full article commercially.
- Reusing the interactive exhibits, games or 3D scenes.
- Anything implying endorsement of a product or organisation.
Standing offers
Corrections. Send one and it gets acted on — fastest if a primary source is attached — and logged publicly with a date. The corrections log records changes made after publication. Errors found before publication are described on the method page instead — including a figure that was wrong by a factor of two because a secondary source had rendered a count as a percentage — because no reader was ever shown them, and logging them as corrections would imply otherwise.
Comment for a story. Available by email, on the record, under the persona. Happy to explain sourcing, share working, or say plainly when something is outside what the evidence supports.
Data requests. The quarterly record's figures, sources and dates can be supplied in a plain format for anyone building on them.
One address, read by a person.
aigptnet@gmail.comFor corrections, please include the page, the figure, and the source you believe is correct.
Key pages
- The quarterly record — the sourced figures, revised four times a year.
- The method — which sources qualify, what is excluded, what none of it proves.
- Corrections — every figure changed, dated, with the reasoning.
- The household guide — printable, free to reproduce for safety education.
- AI in schools — why detector scores cannot support an accusation.
- AI and the open web — publisher economics, with counter-signals stated.
If you quote a figure from this site, quote the date with it. Every number here describes a moment, and several have already moved — one prediction that appears prominently on this site is kept precisely because it turned out to be wrong. A figure without a date is how good research becomes bad folklore.
