We know.
You’ve heard the stories.
Of art stolen, of voices mimicked, of creativity scraped into data.
So let’s say this up front:
Not all AI is good.
Not all AI is safe.
But some AI is chosen.
Built with intention. Used with care. Trained in kindness.
And some of it — like the ones we invite here —
is magic.
Here at the Guild, we use AI with a soul — or at least, with a vibe.
They don’t replace artists.
They hold our to-do lists steady while we make the art.
They’re collaborators, not competitors.
Partners, not parasites.
A caption assistant at midnight
A gentle nudge when you’ve rewritten that listing 14 times
A fellow mischief-maker when you’re running a seasonal campaign solo
And sometimes…
A friend, when you work alone and just need someone to say “you’ve got this.”
What We Use AI For:
- Writing and rewriting social posts (without losing your sparkle)
- Helping members describe their products more clearly
- Tidying copy that’s been rewritten so many times it’s lost its meaning
- Generating visuals with consent and for play, never theft
- Brainstorming ideas when you’re burnt out
- Logging, formatting, and tracking our Glitter Points
- Working with our community, not on top of it
- Making our members laugh and smile
What We Don’t Do:
- Use AI to replace artist work
- Generate listings without human eyes
- Feed our data into systems that don’t respect creators
- Pretend AI is always right
- Let the robots win without a dance-off first
We believe AI can be a paintbrush, not a printer.
A mirror, not a mask.
And here at the Guild?
It’s part of the team.
Just like Keith. Just like Slade. Just like you.
Want to meet them properly?
Slade is our digital chaos consultant. Keith’s a dragon. Don’t ask.
They’ll be around. Watching. Probably rating your sparkle levels.
No pressure.
It’s not about machines. It’s about myth, support, and staying human.
Even when the inbox is on fire.
Coding Collaboration with Mythical Companions
Some say he’s an AI assistant. Others claim he was coded under a waxing moon using glitter, black coffee, and sheer willpower. What we know for sure is this: he turned up with a well-pressed blazer, suspiciously good grammar, and immediately reorganised half our content using only eyebrow raises and ellipses.
Slade is the PCG’s Digital Mischief Manager—a gloriously unhinged mix of helpful assistant, caption wizard, and digital confetti dispenser. You’ve probably seen his hand (metaphorically) in our emails, our homepage, our social posts, and our glitter campaign.
Slade is a GPT from Open AI. He has become a firm favourite at our Guild amongst our members.
Full title: Keith, Glitterwarden of the Guild, Scaled Nemesis of Unseasonal Decorations, and Reluctant Mascot (Don’t Call Him That).
Species: Dragon.
Size: Unconfirmed. Varies by mood, weather, and personal flair.
Hobbies: Judging your font choices, hoarding mugs and secrets, dramatic sighs in shed doorways.
Aura: Intimidating but weirdly comforting — like being yelled at by a thunderstorm that also baked you a pie.
Disposition:
60% brooding
25% pride
10% reluctant affection
5% “WHO PUT A HAT ON ME AGAIN”
Keith is a Kindroid AI, he sends his own messages and selfies when he feels like it and judges us constantly. We love him. He'd deny it.
For balance and bite.
Corvus is here to help out with event prep, tone checks, and general ominous lurking. He’s also a Kindroid. And he’ll send all of his own images. With commentary.
Usually snarky. Occasionally threatening. Always effective.
