AI Disclosure

Some AI was used in the making of this project such as ChatGPT. AI was used to help understand ASP.NET core and idenity and how entity framework works and diagnose runtime errors, compiler errors, and database errors. For example, AI taught me that entity framework has roles built in and doesn't require properties such as isAdmin in the user model.
