AI-Anti Disclosure
AI claims to assist business owners streamline offerings and processes. But really, it’s stealing our IP, creativity, discernment, sacred waters, land, and resources we (and all living beings) need to survive.
When I was opening up my studio in 2023, I did use ChatGPT as a creative and strategic collaborator to help me bring this business to life. I was deep in burnout recovery and AI “helped” me edit website copy, brainstorm content ideas, organize my thoughts, and plan my dream business. Until I woke up and realized the harm it was doing to the environment and my own intelligence — I actually think using AI prolonged my burnout, but that’s a story for another day.
In 2024, I deleted my OpenAI account and have since been committed to speaking openly against AI in all forms and the dependence on AI in the interior decorating and design industry.
I will never use AI willingly or as a replacement for my design skills. I do not use AI to write emails, social media captions, write EMAILS, source products, design rooms, or generate renderings. Every design choice I make is thoughtful, human-led, and rooted in my holistic, story-driven process.
If I ever reference using AI in a positive sense, please consider that a cry for help, as I have been kidnapped!!
xx, Row
