Disclosures
This Splendid Shambles is a blog written and edited by Anjali Kay. A guest contributor may write a post on occasion, and it will be clearly stated. Content and image sources are their responsibility. Any writing done by guest posters is their property and their own opinions which I may or may not share.
Collaborations and Contributors
2019 – 2022: Collaboration with FatJoe. FatJoe is a Content Marketing Agency that contributes posts to bloggers (you can read more about what they do here). Bloggers receive payment for posts published on our blogs. We have the flexibility to edit any posts that come our way and to veto any we don’t think fit with our blog and its audience. I will never publish anything I don’t agree with, all links are checked before accepting the post, and I will edit and change wording and structure where necessary. All collaboration and contributor posts are, and will always be, disclosed in the title of the post, along with a disclaimer at the end of each post. I ended my collaboration with FatJoe in 2022.

AI Policy
At This Splendid Shambles, I may sometimes make minor use of AI tools and software during the beginning or middle stages of the content creation process, for example in brainstorming initial ideas or organising my thoughts into a cohesive plan. However, I have a policy of not using AI to fully generate or publish AI-generated end-user content. This means that nothing you see on This Splendid Shambles has been fully generated using AI; I use it for aiding, reworking some ideas, and organising.
After careful consideration, I have decided on this approach because I believe it to be the best of both worlds; I can take advantage of organising my thoughts and ideas more efficiently and check I haven’t left out any important points, while still maintaining my style, authenticity, and human connection. The amount of time and background research that goes into my content creation means that I would publish less content less consistently compared to speeding up the process with some use of AI tools to structure, organise, and check clarity.
I don’t post anything that doesn’t feel aligned with my views, and all personal anecdotes and stories are genuine human experiences. If you have any questions about my AI policy, please email me. Thanks!
