Not directly related, but so many fun slop web serials were completely ruined by AI use hundreds or even thousands of chapters after their first. Ai writing makes me sad right now, because -unlike in coding- Ai is really not good at engaging dialog & designing an interesting plot.
Shockingly writers love the idea of getting paid for not doing any work. Do you know what they don't love? Paying for Claude tokens, so they won't even use the strongest LLMs for generating their slop.
Give them their own namespace AISBN, and you may have to make it a 128-bit unsigned integer because 64-bit only gives them 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 possibilities, fewer if they use a check digit.
Then we'll know to ignore it from a single piece of objective information.
The specific part:
Use of artificial intelligence
By registering with ISBN Canada, you declare that your publication was written by a human author. You may use AI tools only for limited support tasks, such as brainstorming ideas, checking grammar, or formatting your book. ISBN Canada limits the quantity of ISBNs for works whose content is primarily generated by AI (text, illustration, translation). LAC is currently reviewing its policy regarding the use of AI content creation and our guidance is subject to change.
What is terrible is it will be hard to tell sometimes, publishers are awash with slop.
Its to the point if you can prove it was written before LLMs existed then the value of your work is suddenly much higher.
So, what's the plan for books written with AI?
AI turns everything to crap.
As they should be. Same as them not having much of a chance of getting Copyright on AI stuff.
ahem I think you mean SI /s
