About & method
How the guides, questions and glossary are put together.
What this site is for
HowDoesAIDoThat explains how an AI outcome is made and what the terminology means. It is for people who want practical steps, useful inputs and honest route choices, rather than another tool directory.
Three ways to explore
Use guides to follow an outcome, questions to resolve a practical difficulty, and the glossary to understand unfamiliar terms. The linked sources let you inspect the underlying documentation.
Research is different from testing
We distinguish official documentation, vendor claims, publisher examples and steps actually executed. The first ComfyUI guide compares a publisher example's embedded settings with the official graph and includes attributed documentation screenshots. Those are publisher demonstrations, not our own generation.
The character-swap guide includes real starter files and a tested synthetic editing utility, but its local and hosted generation have not been benchmarked. Its input pictures are not examples of a generated video result. Each guide states the checks performed and the remaining limits.
A plain-language explanation is not a promise that a model will fit your PC, run at a stated speed or produce an accurate answer. Versions, settings, inputs and hardware matter.
Free and paid routes
Where they are suitable, guides include genuinely useful free options and explain what paying changes. “Free local software” still needs hardware, storage, electricity and setup time. We do not conceal working free instructions to steer a reader towards a subscription.
Sources and updates
Source-check dates describe actual checks. Workflow-test dates describe actual execution. They are not interchangeable. When a route changes, the affected guide and downloadable files need rechecking. If you find an outdated instruction or an error, email daniel@djacksondesign.com with the page link and relevant version or error message.
