Abstract: At the risk of being considered paranoid I state that every word of this Editorial was written by me. I can also give the assurance that I shall never knowingly resort to having an Artificial Intelligence write anything for me.

Unfortunately this stance is not universally adopted by some who write for publication in the chiropractic literature and I am aware of at least 1 writer who is pushing the boundaries to see how much of a paper he/she/they/it can have written by ChatGPT and still be published under that person’s own name.

Of course I find this sad, not only because of my own efforts to improve myself and my writing, but because of what it confers on those who resort to such intellectual cheating and plagiarism. For 60 years or so I have contributed to my income by assembling words for specific purposes, and now it is tragic to think that a chiropractor with a good mind feels they can not write without Verbal Viagra.

I explore this and some related matters in this editorial and conclude that living through a major earthquake (M9) allows a re-commitment to matters for which I hold value; the truth of subluxation in Chiropractic is one of those things. I like to think life is better for me when I nurture my own natural intelligence in celebration of the powers granted to us by Universal Intelligence, against which anything artificial is as bad for us as aspartame or Erythritol.
