How we use AI

We use AI tools to help make our guides. This page says what the tools do and what people do.

What AI does

  • It suggests topics, based on what people search for.
  • It gathers facts from public sources, each with a short quote.
  • It writes a draft, mainly from those facts.

What our software checks

  • It loads every source page and confirms the quoted words are on it. Facts that fail are dropped.
  • It checks each draft’s structure and reading level, and rejects banned phrases.
  • It rejects a draft that gives a dose of a medicine or supplement its source does not state.

It does not check every sentence of a draft against a source.

What people do

  • Our editor chooses the topics.
  • Our editor reads every guide and approves it, or sends it back. No guide goes live without that approval.

Our guides are not reviewed by a doctor or other health professional.

Our limits on AI

  • AI never writes in the voice of a person, and never claims personal experience.
  • AI never invents quotes, people or studies.

Images

Most of our images are stock photos or diagrams we build from the cited data. If we use an AI-generated image, it never shows a realistic person presented as real.
