AI Disclosure

TeckScaler uses AI tools as part of our editorial and engineering workflow. This page describes exactly what AI does and does not do in our content production process.

Our Position on AI in Publishing

AI is a tool, not a replacement for editorial judgment. We believe the best technical content comes from engineers who understand the subject matter and use AI to work faster, not to work without thinking. Every article published on TeckScaler is reviewed, fact-checked, and approved by a human editor before it goes live.

How We Use AI

Research and Source Discovery

AI tools help us locate primary sources faster: finding the original arXiv paper behind a news story, identifying SEC filings related to a funding announcement, or summarizing lengthy technical documentation. Every source identified by AI is verified independently before we cite it.

Structured Content Drafting

AI may generate initial drafts of structured content such as specification tables, comparison matrices, and data summaries. An editor reviews every data point for accuracy and rewrites the surrounding prose to match our editorial voice.

Code Generation and Testing

AI coding assistants help produce initial code snippets for tutorials and guides. Every code sample is tested in a documented environment (specific language version, framework version, and OS) before publication. If a code sample fails under testing, it is rewritten by hand.

Image Generation

Some illustrations and diagrams on TeckScaler are generated using AI image tools. Product screenshots, benchmark charts, and photographs of real hardware are never AI-generated. When we use AI-generated illustrations, the images are clearly decorative and do not represent factual evidence.

What AI Does Not Do

The following responsibilities remain exclusively with our human editorial team:

Topic selection: Deciding what to cover and what to skip is a human editorial decision.
Source evaluation: Determining whether a source is credible, whether a claim is substantiated, and whether a story is ready to publish.
Opinion and analysis: All editorial opinions, recommendations, and conclusions in our articles reflect the views of our authors.
Final approval: No article is published without a human editor reviewing the complete piece for accuracy, tone, and completeness.
Correction decisions: Determining whether an error warrants a correction, a clarification, or a retraction.

Quality Safeguards

We maintain several safeguards to prevent AI-generated content from degrading our editorial quality:

Anti-AI cliche filter: Our publishing pipeline includes an automated check that flags and rejects generic promotional buzzwords, marketing hyperbole, and repetitive filler phrases. This forces every article through a human rewriting pass.
Readability audit: Content must achieve a Flesch Reading Ease score of 60 or higher. AI-generated text that scores below this threshold is rewritten.
Source verification: Every hyperlink and citation is checked against the live source before publication. Dead links, paywalled sources, and unverifiable claims are flagged for correction.

Changes to This Policy

AI technology evolves quickly, and so does our usage of it. We will update this page when our practices change materially. The last update date is displayed at the top of this page.
