How I Use AI at MortalCase and What Stays Human

I let AI help with a few limited jobs, and I stay the one who writes, judges, and owns the mystery. You'll see where a tool saves me time on artwork and on repetitive work, why a few supporting props carry a disclosure that the artwork was made with an AI image generator, and which decisions stay with me: the premise, characters, motives, chronology, evidence logic, the host's night, editing, legibility, and the finished files.
