AI Use Policy

At Platypus and Pine, we believe in being transparent about how we create the content you see on our website.

Artificial intelligence is one of the tools we use as part of our creative process. We use AI to assist with tasks such as developing article outlines, brainstorming ideas, exploring different approaches to a topic and occasionally creating or assisting with images used across our website and social media.

How We Use AI for Written Content

AI may be used during the early stages of creating a blog post. For example, we might use it to help organise our thoughts, develop an outline, suggest topics worth exploring or provide inspiration when researching how to approach an article.

However, our published articles are not simply generated by AI and uploaded to the website.

Every finished blog post is reviewed, developed, edited and written by a human. We decide what information to include, how the article should be structured, what advice or ideas we want to share and, ultimately, what appears on Platypus and Pine.

AI helps us with the process. It does not make the final decisions for us.

AI-Generated and AI-Assisted Images

We may occasionally use artificial intelligence to create or assist with images, illustrations and other visual content. AI-generated images are generally used for inspiration, decorative purposes or to help illustrate interior design, home décor and lifestyle concepts that may be difficult to photograph ourselves.

These images should be viewed as visual inspiration rather than exact representations of particular products, properties or real-world locations unless we specifically state otherwise.

Human Creativity Comes First

We see AI in much the same way as other digital tools we use to create Platypus and Pine. It can help us brainstorm, experiment and work more efficiently, but it doesn't replace human experience, creativity or judgement. The final content published on this website reflects our own decisions about what we believe will be useful, interesting or inspiring to our readers.

Our Commitment to Transparency

As AI technology continues to evolve, the way we use it may change too. What won't change is our commitment to maintaining human oversight of the content we publish. We will continue to use AI as a supporting tool rather than a replacement for the human voice behind Platypus and Pine.
