Hollywood is suing, lobbying, and striking over AI. Newsrooms are writing doomsday editorials about it. Everyone is fighting the technology.

I’m doing something very different: I’m using the same technology they fear to build KlueIQ, overhaul alexandrakitty.com, and make my work sharper, faster, and more interesting.

Some people think there’s a conflict between critiquing media and embracing AI. There isn’t. The conflict is between hiding from change and learning in public.

I’ve spent years watching journalism and entertainment refuse to adapt to previous tech shocks (social media, streaming, the creator economy). I’m a researcher, educator, and game designer. If there’s a tool that lets me read more, test more, and build more, I’m not going to pretend it doesn’t exist because it scares legacy executives.

If your entire empire can be threatened by a tool, the problem isn’t the tool. It’s the empire.

Instead of spending two days fiddling with wording for a clue, I can spin ten variations in minutes and spend my time deciding which one is psychologically sharpest. I can explore case structures and narrative branches for true crime games as I pressure-test assumptions (“What am I missing? What’s the alternative explanation?”).

It doesn’t replace my judgment; it widens the field of possibilities I can then interrogate.

I don’t put in hallucinated facts. I vet and verify as I usually do, especially for sensitive details.

While that’s what I am doing with KlueIQ, this website is now undergoing the same makeover.

I discovered that hundreds of people were reading my blog. If I’m going to have an audience, I owe them structure and clarity, not a junk drawer.

The tone, the thesis, the risk‑taking, that’s me. AI is there to challenge, sharpen, and accelerate, not to impersonate me. I don’t keep useful insights to myself; if a tool helps me see more clearly, I’m going to use it and then tell my readers exactly how. That’s called transparency.

Sadly, legacy media outlets see AI as a threat to the headcount, old revenue models, and status as the sole arbiters of quality. I see AI as a way to reduce the grunt work that used to eat my time, to experiment cheaply with ideas that would never get past a traditional gatekeeper, and a way to give my audience more of what they actually come to me for: original frameworks and investigations.

Journalism saw social media as vandalism to their cathedral, instead of new streets outside it. Hollywood is treating AI the same way. They are fighting the tool instead of fixing the structure that made them so vulnerable to it in the first place.

I am a working creator and researcher. I don’t do gate-keeping. Legacy media hoards process and calls it mystique. I open the door and call it a workshop. Whether I’m building a true crime game or dissecting Hollywood’s decline, the pattern is the same: I use AI to ask better questions, not to dodge them. I do everything I did before for decades: immerse, experiment, research, analyze, and refine, the only difference is I have a new element in my toolkit.

If AI is going to reshape media, I would rather be one of the people shaping it with my keyboard than one of the people writing yet another obituary for the future.
