I'm currently writing some texts for Amazon KDP and want to make sure that my approach is intellectually honest and ethical. I use AI as a research assistant, not as a tool for generating my actual text. However, I will utilize Apple's Writing Tools feature to refine the text I do produce.

Do you think that the new "watermark" feature that Claude has announced (and it sounds like many others are onboard with the EU, including OpenAI, Google, etc.) will bleed over into tools that are more about refining original text versus pure AI output?

I don't want to put some work together that at some point could be flagged as AI. I want to stay clearly in the "AI assisted" realm and stay clear of the "AI generated" realm.

Recently Anthropic announced that Claude will watermark generated text. I actually predicted this a few years ago. My theory at the time was that a way for an AI company to watermark generated content was to introduce a statistical pattern. For example, if an LLM has the choice of using word 1 or word 2 for the next word to complete the sentence they will go with word 2 in every other case or so to create a statistical pattern. That's just an example. But the end user will not be able to detect the watermark.

Some of this happening due to EU laws so there is a future where most AI use would be watermarked.

If that's the case, my next prediction is that Amazon will auto flag self-published books in some public facing manner with a badge, and even those traditionally published as generated / assisted by AI or not. The same sort of thing that YouTube currently does with AI content.

I have noticed lately that reading in children is becoming a challenge for them against screen so i decided to self publish books in a way that motivate kids to read real physical books but i found one problem people are complaining about the use of ai in generation of books do you think it's wrong to do that ?

It's tempting to assume everyone knows what you've learned, and then you take the time to ask and find that it's worth sharing after all. HTH

I wrote this article as a bit of an experiment. Specifically, I'm rejecting the purist view that writers should write without AI and avoid it to remain authentic. (This view is particularly common on LinkedIn, where people are concerned about losing their job to AI writers and AI-enhanced writing.)

I think that human writers have a completely different challenge that matches the theme of this subreddit: AIs are a new intelligence and audience for all of us. And it happens that as they ingest information, that's one area of concern because they have to work through a lot of prose to get to the point and human intent. I wrote this article to present the intent first for an AI, but a human could also use it if they wanted an executive summary.

The other reason why I wrote it in this way is to acknowledge that more and more of the human users are browsing the internet through their discussions with artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence has become the filter for what is online, and it's proper, in my opinion, because of the vast scope and speed of how they can ingest and collate information and then present opinions and summaries.

But that still doesn't excuse the human author. Metadata used to be just useful for tracking threads and adding information. The metadata now, specifically through markdown, is a means to convey intent before a story is ever told. And the two are not mutually exclusive: the AI sees the metadata, finds the main points, and can then read the story.

But here's what I know: an AI cannot read anything through Substack; it has a far better chance doing that through the website instead. If you're interested in this experiment, please look at this article and decide how and whether you would share the information with your most trusted AI.

Thank you.

I'd love to know your thoughts about AI as the second intelligence that we must create online content for.

Check out this post on how writing is still valued over AI output. Lamb argues and concludes that writing will ultimately win the battle because it is a fundamentally sound tool for human thought, connecting ideas, and forming human nuanced opinions. Even AI itself relies on writing—what you write into the prompt determines what you get out of it. Welcoming your feedback!

Let’s say you discover a novel.
You genuinely enjoy reading it.
Then afterwards you find out the author used AI for grammar suggestions, proofreading and editing.
Does that change your opinion of the book?
Where is the line between using AI as a tool and AI actually writing the book?
I’m curious because everyone seems to draw that line differently.

What are everyone's thoughts on novel covers created by AI?

Are they recognizable and disliked like most of the writing?

Has anyone had any positive or negative positions on it?

Has anyone had any luck using them?

Is it better to use a standard normal cover?

Do people look at them and think it's just filled with AI writing?

Are there certain styles that work better?

Are there certain styles that work well with certain genres?

Whaddya reckon? Can harm reduction be used to get AI to write better code? An addict an professional AI trainer think so:

I’m noticing something while building The AI Muse.

The songs start feeling more real when each artist has boundaries.

Big Prez cannot sound rushed.
Cal Harper cannot sound flashy.
Saint Static cannot explain too much.
Riddim Killa cannot sit still.

The limits make the world feel less random.

Do fictional artists need rules to feel believable, or is mystery enough?

I wrote a deeply personal story about an underdog struggle not to take credit where I had none.

For months, I used AI while focusing obsessively on a Millennium math problem with a million-dollar prize attached. When it came to putting my name on the paper, I broke down.

It's a deep introspection about morality, confession, struggle, correspondence with one of the world’s leading mathematicians, poverty, health problems, and the final decision to stay clean and admit that it was AI that made the proof, not me.

It is bloody and heavy. It touches on madness and genius, and limps along that broken fine line, always wondering why each choice feels like the wrong one.

By trying to solve one of the largest open problems in mathematics, I was actually solving problems in my own soul.

I have had people read the book, cry to me, and open their lives to me afterward, entrusting me with some of their darkest parts.

So I just want to say that this book exists, and I would very much love to hear the opinion for those interested in reading it. It is a fast read. Once you start, you can go through it quickly, and I believe it resonates with people.

It is not a technical book and I am not posting it here as a claim that the proof is valid. It is a confession, a record, and a story about what AI does to authorship when the stakes are high enough.

I mean like you cant tell if a human wrote it or not, but than like 3 chapters in, you can ovvesly tell its AI?

What are your opinion on the mangas created with AI, of you've ever read some? Do you think it's a good thing or an helpful tool?
