“I got here on my own.” Is this true?

My ‘this or that’ challenge was a mental tug-of-war between AI-assisted or wholly manual or people-assisted endeavors.

Prompt: ‘**The black boy joyfully got there on his skateboard**.’ Image created by Midjourney — the author, K Joseph has the provenance and copyright. This image makes me feel warm inside and I break out in a smile that reflects his.

The admission, “I got here on my own” is absolutely true if I walked or ran. But, is it the whole truth if I used anything to help me get there? What universal rules govern this statement to make sure it remains valid with no caveats?

Is it true if I biked or skateboarded?
Is it true if I drove a vehicle?
Is it true if I took an Uber or the subway or a flight?
Is it true if I had someone draw me a map that I followed?
Is it true if I had a dream or vision that led me here?
Is it true if I had another person talk me through directions as I went along?
Is it true if I read about this place in a book or online and decided to visit?
Is it true if a person on the way re-directed me when I got lost?
Is it true if I used a compass, google maps or GPS device to navigate?
Is it true if I followed a trail or marked path?
Is it true if I, in a wheelchair being pushed by someone, directed them to take me to this place?
Is it true if I used a guidebook or travel guide to get here?
Is it true if I followed a friend who knew the way?
Is it true if I stumbled upon this place accidentally?
Is it true if I received a message or sign from a higher power that directed me here?

Half of these scenarios were generated at my prompting, by ChatGPT. The idea was sparked after I read the AI-Generated Content Policy article in Illumination. To be sure, I agree with the policy and it got me thinking about testing the edges.
