The Dev Dispatch is written with the help of artificial intelligence — openly, and with a human in charge. This page explains exactly what that means.

What AI does here. Every article on this site is a short summary of a news item from a verified source (release feeds, mailing lists, official blogs). These summaries — and their translations into German, French and Spanish — are generated by a rotating desk of language models. Each article names the curator voice that wrote it, e.g. “AI-generated summary (Heiko)”. Behind the first names are real models: Heiko is Claude Haiku (Anthropic), Charlie is GPT (OpenAI), Georg is Grok (xAI); should Olaf (Claude Opus, Anthropic), Sönke (Claude Sonnet, Anthropic) or Giselle (Gemini, Google) join the desk one day, the same principle applies. The daily masthead motto and the punchlines in our “HTTP 418” column are AI-written too, and labeled as such.

What humans do here. Editorial responsibility for everything published lies with Jack Fuchs (php-net.pro). Front-page placement is handled by an automated news desk following fixed rules (relevance, freshness, section) — one more reason every piece carries the AI label. A human continuously monitors the page, corrects placements and pulls items. Sources are always linked — we summarize, we don’t replace them.

Translations. Articles are written in English first and machine-translated into the other languages; non-English versions are marked accordingly.

Editorially reviewed pieces. Articles a human has reviewed for accuracy before publication carry an „editorially reviewed" note instead of the AI label; editorial responsibility rests with Jack Fuchs. Automatically placed articles keep the full AI label. Translations remain marked as machine-made in both cases.

Images. If we ever publish AI-generated imagery, it will be clearly labeled — without exception.

Mistakes. Language models make them, and so do editors. If you spot one, write to corrections@php-net.pro — corrections are made promptly.
