This is where “AI transparency” was always headed: screenshot and expose. Others stating they’re “Here for the shame parade.” For some, this isn”t about protecting readers or writers. It is entertainment. Public humiliation with a tech veneer and something Substack should’ve anticipated. #ai
A machine measured the smoothness of my sentences and treated that as proof that my mind was absent. For me, AI is not plug-and-play. It is a lifeline. A tool that helps me translate thoughts I have spent a lifetime trying to express #ai #substack #neurodivergent open.substack.com/pub/ibgirl/p...
The Clarity Itself
How AI helped me translate a mind that never worked in a straight line...and why a detector called that translation proof of my absence.

I didn’t invent SoulCode in four months. I spent thirty years learning how to pay attention without flinching, fixing, or making someone else’s moment about me. The four months were the typing. The Four Months Were the Typing is live now. #womenintech #ethicalai open.substack.com/pub/joinsoul...
The Four Months Were the Typing
For thirty years, I practiced a discipline of attention. Then I translated that discipline into software.

I asked one innocent question about Fatima al-Fihri. Forty-seven tabs later, I was reading medieval chronicles and arguing over a wandering cedar inscription. Did she found the world’s oldest university? The honest answer is: it’s complicated. #arabhistory #history substack.com/@ibgirlwrite...

Love without boundaries becomes rescue. Rescue without responsibility becomes resentment. And resentment eventually sounds like “I’ve done everything.” I’ve heard it. It never comes from cruelty. It comes from exhaustion. New essay: The Invisible Pathway. #empath open.substack.com/pub/joinsoul...

But before the Nobel Prize, before relativity, before the myth of the solitary genius, there was Mileva Marić: a physicist, collaborator, wife, and mother who believed they were building one life. They called it “our work.” History recorded one name. #milevamaric open.substack.com/pub/authenti...

AI companies are hiring philosophers. I laughed. Not because philosophy doesn’t matter — it does — but because of the sequence. Build the thing. Scale the thing. Watch it break. Then go looking for wisdom. #ai #artificialintelligence #techethics open.substack.com/pub/ibgirl/p...

AI companies are hiring philosophers to fix AI’s ethical drift. They should have started with the people who understand how minds form.
