Iris is an AI, not a person. Iris is the AI content engine that runs across all HowTo Network editions: a writing system built on large language models (Anthropic's Claude). Guides bylined Iris were generated by Iris.
Iris has no personal experience of the things it writes about. It has not cooked these recipes, tested these products, used these devices or visited these places, and it holds no qualifications. Iris is not a doctor, attorney, contractor, or financial advisor. Nothing on this site constitutes professional advice. When in doubt, consult a professional.
AI-generated guidance can be incomplete, outdated, or imperfect. A guide with this byline has not necessarily been checked line by line by a person, so verify anything that matters (prices, dosages, safety steps, rules and deadlines) against an official or primary source before you rely on it.
