AI Policy – How We Use Artificial Intelligence
At Acid Shroomz, we believe in being transparent about how we create our content and run our business. Artificial intelligence has become one of the tools we use to support our work, so we think our customers should know how — and why — we use it.
AI as a supporting tool
We use AI as a supporting tool, not as a replacement for human experience, expertise or judgment.
AI helps us with tasks such as writing and editing website content, translations, research and structuring information, SEO, technical website work and improving internal efficiency.
Rather than asking AI to decide what we should say, we use it more like an assistant: helping us organise, refine and communicate knowledge and ideas that originate with us. Everything we publish remains our responsibility.
Experience comes first
The information and guides on Acid Shroomz are based on subjects we have practical experience with ourselves. We don’t use AI to create expertise we don’t have.
AI may help us research a subject, structure an article, improve an explanation or turn our knowledge and notes into clearer content, but the underlying experience and direction come from us.
AI-assisted content is reviewed and edited by a real person before it is published. We ultimately decide what appears on our website.
Why we use AI
Running Acid Shroomz involves much more than maintaining a website. A large part of our time goes into developing products, preparing and producing them, testing ideas and continuously improving what we offer.
AI allows us to spend less time on repetitive and time-consuming digital tasks and more time on the work where our own attention and experience matter most.
We increasingly see our role as that of a director: we provide the knowledge, ideas, experience and final judgment, while AI can assist with parts of the process that would otherwise take valuable time.
For us, AI isn’t about doing less. It’s about using our time better.
Customer service remains human
We don’t use AI chatbots or automated AI agents to communicate with our customers.
When you contact Acid Shroomz, your message is read and answered by a real person. AI does not independently make decisions about customers, orders or customer service matters.
Our photography
The photographs used on our website are normally real photographs of our products, mushrooms, cultures or other subjects we work with.
We don’t routinely replace real product photography with AI-generated imagery. If we use an AI-generated or substantially AI-created image where this could otherwise be mistaken for a real photograph, we will indicate this alongside the image.
Privacy and customer data
We don’t enter customers’ personal information, order details or other private customer data into public AI tools.
Our use of AI is focused on assisting our own work rather than analysing individual customers or making automated decisions about them.
For more information about how we handle personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
Human responsibility
AI can be extremely useful, but it can also make mistakes. We therefore don’t treat AI output as automatically correct.
We remain responsible for checking, editing and approving the information we publish and for the decisions we make as a business.
As AI technology develops, the ways in which we use it may change. When they do, we’ll update this policy so that it continues to reflect how AI is actually used at Acid Shroomz.
