How We Create Content

Transparency matters. Here's exactly how our blog posts are made, why we use AI, and what we do to keep quality high.

AI-Assisted Drafting

Our blog uses language models to assist with topic analysis and drafting, and image models may assist with illustrations. Models and providers can change; our publishing requirements do not.

Structural Validation

Every AI-generated draft passes through an automated validation pipeline before publishing. Our validators enforce:

  • Valid metadata, URLs, headings, and MDX syntax
  • Retrieved source excerpts and checks against attributed claims
  • Minecraft edition and version context when it affects the answer
  • A format chosen for the reader's intent rather than a fixed template
  • No banned filler phrases ("in conclusion," "it is worth noting," etc.)
  • Internal links to related posts for navigation
  • No invented first-hand experience or unsupported server metrics

If a draft fails any of these checks, it's rejected and regenerated. A failing draft is not published. The deployment workflow also builds the complete Next.js site before committing generated content.

Grounded in Real Experience

The Gaia Legends team operates a live Minecraft SMP server. Server observations are labeled separately from vanilla mechanics and are included only when the supporting measurement can be described.

Fact-Checking & Sources

Drafts are grounded in a pre-writing research packet. Sources are fetched and checked before publication, and numerical claims must be traceable to the referenced page. Generic links are not presented as proof. If reliable evidence is unavailable, the draft must omit the claim or fail the gate.

Error Reporting

Automated checks can detect missing evidence and some contradictions; they do not prove every statement true. Older articles have not all received a new factual review. Retrieval and publication dates are not hands-on verification dates. AI-assisted illustrations are not screenshots or proof of a working build.
