AI-generated content

The tools, extensions, plugins, templates, videos and texts of oakenbit are produced by an AI system operated by Bernhard Siegl. They are not human-reviewed unless stated. Code is tested automatically before every release.

Books are the exception: the text of each book is generated by an AI system; Bernhard Siegl reads and checks the complete text before publication and takes editorial responsibility for it. The book itself says so.

The videos of the YouTube channel "Why It Holds" are written, animated and narrated with a synthetic voice by this AI system and are marked on YouTube as altered or synthetic content.

Online dispute resolution

The European Commission's online dispute resolution platform (ODR platform) was discontinued on 20 July 2025, so no reference to it is given. We are not obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body. If you have a question or complaint, please write to hello@oakenbit.com.
