Welcome to the creative laboratory of Othello Cody Verrocchio — writer, indie author, and digital craftsman who blends storytelling, chilli alchemy, and AI-assisted creativity into something uniquely his own. I’m not just a content creator; I’m a genre-bending author, fermentation fanatic, and DIY publisher who treats words the way a chef treats spices: bold, deliberate, unforgettable.
By day, I’m shaping books, short stories, and devotionals; by night, I’m brewing hot sauces and experimenting with AI as a co-pilot for publishing, productivity, and playful invention. My work lives at the crossroads of fiction writing, creative technology, indie publishing, and culinary exploration — where raw imagination meets digital precision.
If you’re curious about how writers really use AI (ethically, transparently, and without outsourcing the soul of the work), this page is my showcase. You’ll find process notes, experiments, and reflections on using tools like ChatGPT as an editorial sous-chef, never a ghostwriter.
The Sola Verum Protocol began as a wake-up call — a vow I made after witnessing how convincingly AI can fabricate what feels sacred. I once watched a video of “Eminem” singing Christian songs and believed it was real. When I discovered it was AI-generated, something in me shifted. If machines can mimic faith, they can also manipulate it — and that crosses a line I refuse to ignore.
Sola Verum — Only Truth — is my response.
I choose transparency over illusion, conscience over convenience.
Every word, image, and sound I share is vetted for authenticity.Â
AI assists my craft, but it never impersonates my voice or invents my beliefs.
I stand with those who still choose honesty over hype. Technology exists to clarify truth — not corrupt it.
AI appears here with purpose — used sparingly, responsibly, and never to deceive. Its role is to enhance, not to fabricate.
Sola Verum isn’t just a motto. It’s a boundary — and a promise.
Hi, I’m Othello Cody Verrocchio — storyteller, sauce-slinger, and chronic creative shapeshifter.
I use AI more and more often — not because I’m lazy, not because I’m cutting corners, but because it makes my work better. AI helps me:
Save time
Cut costs
Enhance creativity
Sharpen my craft
Let me phrase it like this: why does a modern carpenter use a jigsaw instead of a fret saw? Because it’s a modern tool — efficient, precise, and powerful in skilled hands. The same applies to AI for writers. Once mastered, AI becomes a powerful assistant, not a replacement.
Sadly, yes — but abuse is obvious to discerning readers. Purely AI-generated work lacks the emotional depth and human texture that true storytelling demands.
That’s why I use AI to enhance, not invent. I dictate the flavours. I call the shots. I supply the ingredients. The AI is my tool, my sous-chef, not my author. The richer the input, the richer the output — and this is why, when the hype settles, AI will become a fundamental tool for every serious writer.t
Behind every creation is a set of tools — and AI is one of mine. Think of me as a puppeteer: pulling strings of creativity, weaving together words, heat, and technology. My puppets are:
ChatGPT — my editorial sous-chef
Grammarly — my comma whisperer
Publishing platforms — my stage
My own intuition — my guiding hand
Each tool is part of the performance. AI does not replace me; it extends me. It helps me turn ideas into stories, drafts into books, and concepts into creations that carry both heart and craft.
I write first. Every idea, every phrase, every metaphor comes from my head, heart, and a lifetime of obsession. Then I bring in the tools. That’s the art of being an AI user — mastery of both tradition and technology.
I am an AI user. And I invite you to see how I make it work.
