1. Our Philosophy on AI

At Hydraulic Tools Shop, we embrace technology. Just as a hydraulic press makes it easier to bend steel, Artificial Intelligence (AI) makes it easier to run a website.

However, we believe the internet is flooded with low-quality, automated spam. We refuse to be part of that problem.

2. How We Use AI (The “Co-Pilot” Model)

We use Large Language Models (LLMs) as a “Writing Assistant,” not a replacement for human expertise.

• Research: AI helps us aggregate technical specifications (weight limits, PSI ratings, dimensions) quickly. A human verifies these numbers.
• Drafting: We use AI to outline articles and improve readability.
• Editing: We use AI to check for grammar and spelling errors.

3. What AI Does NOT Do

To ensure your safety, we draw a hard line on what automation is allowed to do:

• AI does not write safety advice: All safety warnings regarding jack stands, hydraulic pressure, and load limits are written or reviewed by a human with mechanical experience.
• AI does not “Opinion”: If we say a tool is “junk,” that is a human assessment based on build quality and user reports, not an AI hallucination.

4. Use of AI Imagery

Taking professional, well-lit photography in a working garage is difficult and dangerous. To make this website visually appealing, we utilize Generative AI tools (such as Midjourney) to create:

• Feature images / Thumbnails.
• Illustrative diagrams.
• Brand Personas: The visual representation of “Hank” and other branding elements may be AI-generated artistic representations designed to convey the “Blue Collar” spirit of our brand.

5. Fact-Checking & Accountability

AI can make mistakes (hallucinations). We have a human review process in place to catch these errors. However, if you spot an error in a technical specification (such as a tonnage rating), please contact us immediately so we can fix it.
