AI Transparency

Neon Lace uses AI tools in parts of our research and production workflow. This page explains where AI appears, what remains human-led, and how I protect credibility.

What AI may support

AI may be used to:

  • help organise research notes and early outlines
  • generate draft structures for articles, reports, and PDFs
  • support editing tasks (clarity, flow, formatting)
  • assist with idea expansion and variant drafts (headlines, captions, summaries)

AI is treated as a production tool, not the author.

What is always human-led

Neon Lace remains human-led in:

  • editorial judgement (what matters, what doesn’t, and why now)
  • voice, tone, and final phrasing
  • factual checking and source selection
  • cultural interpretation (rooms, routes, access systems, signals, preparation)
  • final approval — nothing is published without review

If it doesn’t sound like Neon Lace, it doesn’t make the cut.

Standards I don’t compromise

I do not:

  • fabricate access, affiliations, experiences, or “insider” positioning
  • publish claims without evidence when evidence is available
  • use AI to imitate identifiable writers or steal protected text
  • use AI output as a substitute for editorial responsibility

When I state a claim, I aim to back it with a cited report, a price point, a quote, a visible behaviour pattern, or a referenced case study.

AI visuals and styling

When I publish AI-generated fashion visuals, I try to always include this disclosure or similar:

“Styled with AI. All visuals are original creations for Neon Lace.”

If an image is from a brand, photographer, or partner, we credit it clearly.

Why I disclose

Neon Lace is building long-term editorial trust. Transparency is part of that. I’d rather be clear about process than hide behind mystique.
