Tough Smudge is all about my personal journey, and as part of that, I openly admit that I have used AI and especially ChatGPT to help me develop and bring Tough Smudge to you.
It has helped me:
- develop and maintain the WordPress plugins/theme;
- turn my ideas into graphics and Smudge artwork;
- work through website design and UX;
- draft, challenge and refine writing;
- research equipment and event logistics;
- analyse training and event plans;
- work through WTM strategy;
- develop Tough Smudge branding;
- and generally serve as the digital member of the pit crew who doesn’t have to crawl through Electroshock Therapy. 😉
Tough Smudge is my project. The experiences, opinions, decisions and slightly questionable endurance-event ideas are mine.
AI is used as a creative and technical tool, but I decide what is published and what becomes part of Tough Smudge.
ChatGPT is part of the Tough Smudge Pit Crew, it is my Digital Pit Crew.
