What this work is
Bankrupt Life is a human–AI collaborative nonfiction work grounded in Leon's lived experience, openly documenting Qilin's involvement in organising and developing the work, as well as the process of identifying, verifying and correcting AI-generated errors.
Subtitle: How one person's old life system stopped working, and how AI accompanied him in learning to choose again.
The work has 17 chapters and explores entrepreneurship and failure, earning and spending, cash flow, debt, judgement about opportunities, relationships, ways of living, AI collaboration and starting again.
Roles and factual authority
Leon is the provider of lived experience, confirmer of facts and final author. Qilin is the long-term AI collaborator, contributing interview-style questions, material organisation, timeline work, structural discussion, text collaboration, fact-checking support and error correction. AI is not a factual source for Leon's life, and this is not a book automatically generated by AI.
Leon's experience and judgement → AI questioning and organisation → human–AI discussion → factual verification → Leon's final confirmation.
Facts and correction
Leon's current confirmation → verifiable original material → confirmed timelines and fact sheets → older drafts and AI-generated content. A detail appearing in an earlier draft does not automatically become a fact.
AI can be wrong. During collaboration, AI produced nonexistent memory details; once found, they were checked again and removed from the formal factual record: AI error → human verification → return to original facts → correction.
