At Cleo Schoenfelder, authenticity, honesty, and transparency matter.
This website is built around real-life experiences, personal stories, product reviews, rural living, journaling, personal growth, and lessons learned along the way. As technology continues to evolve, I believe it’s important to be transparent about how artificial intelligence (AI) may be used within my business and content creation process.
My Commitment to Authentic Content
The heart of this website is my personal experience, perspective, and voice.
Whether I am sharing stories from life on our South Dakota farm and ranch, reflections from my journal, lessons I’ve learned, product reviews, or resources that have helped me along the way, the content reflects my own thoughts, experiences, and opinions.
AI is a tool that may assist me in creating content more efficiently, but it does not replace my lived experiences, personal insights, or decision-making.
How AI May Be Used
I may use AI-powered tools to assist with:
- Brainstorming content ideas
- Creating outlines and content structures
- Improving grammar, spelling, and readability
- Organizing information
- Drafting summaries
- Research assistance
- Developing social media content ideas
- Creating image concepts or design mockups
- Website development and marketing tasks
- Workflow automation and business organization
These tools help streamline the content creation process while allowing me to focus on sharing meaningful and helpful content.
Human Review and Editorial Oversight
All content published on this website is reviewed, edited, and approved by me before publication.
AI-generated drafts, suggestions, or concepts are carefully evaluated and often modified to reflect my voice, experiences, and intended message.
I remain responsible for all content published under my name.
Product Reviews and Recommendations
Product reviews, recommendations, affiliate links, and resource suggestions are based on my personal experiences, research, opinions, or disclosed partnerships unless otherwise stated.
AI tools may assist in organizing information or drafting content, but they do not determine my recommendations.
My goal is to provide honest, helpful information that readers can use to make informed decisions.
AI-Generated Images and Visual Content
Some graphics, illustrations, mockups, or design concepts may be created or enhanced using AI tools.
When practical, I will identify AI-generated imagery.
Photographs of myself, my family, our farm and ranch, products I personally use, and other real-life experiences are generally original photographs unless otherwise noted.
Accuracy and Limitations
While AI can be a helpful tool, it is not perfect.
I make every reasonable effort to verify information before publication. However, errors, omissions, or inaccuracies may occasionally occur.
Information provided on this website should not be considered legal, medical, financial, tax, or professional advice. Readers should consult qualified professionals regarding their specific circumstances.
Respect for Copyright and Intellectual Property
I strive to respect the intellectual property rights of others.
Content created with the assistance of AI is reviewed prior to publication, and I make reasonable efforts to ensure that published content is original, properly attributed when necessary, and aligned with applicable copyright standards.
Transparency and Trust
My goal is simple:
To use technology responsibly while maintaining authenticity, honesty, and transparency with my readers.
AI may assist in the process, but the stories, experiences, opinions, and lessons shared on this website come from my life, my perspective, and my voice.
