Usage of Generative AI in Skyscraping

No generative AI is or was involved in the making of Skyscraping. lmao

I wrote all the articles and content by hand, mostly while bored on public transport. On-off over many months, which probably explains why it varies so much in tone, style and consistency.

Speaking of LLMs, I did at one point consider asking them for ideas for cases, but then decided against it. In fact, I unofficially decided I wouldn’t search for any online content on solving Skyscrapers, because I’m actually really enjoying the process of discovering, intuiting and rationalising these logical deductions myself. Much like one would avoid spoilers for Outer Wilds, I want to avoid ‘spoilers’ for Skyscrapers and forge my own path!

So yeah, no AI. None for the code either, all hand-coded ;)
