#proofofauthorship — Public Fediverse posts

[Edited, twice, for typos]
[No AI was used in writing this toot — I’d rather not write at all otherwise]

The use of #GenAISlop machines to determine whether text was provided by #LLM #TextRegurgitatingMachines is a monster of a cyclical process. Like the integrity of police officers overseen by other police officers in another branch of law enforcement. Lawyer oversighted by a professional lawyer body… and so on. #Credibility and #Transparency are unlikely to prevail in such nepotistic circumstances, corruption is everywhere but a step away.

What are #Authors to do? Build a #TrailOfEvidence and unimpeachable record of #Provenance for every work they wish to publish? How are they to do this? Are there non-AI tools to help? This is a really f*^%#d up world the #TechBros are imposing upon us all with their inane #MarketingHype hitting the mark with many incompetant and gullible executives in charge of the #publishingIndustry. (This is all conjecture on my part based on very little but general observations of what LLM GenAI is doing — or not doing — in every field of endeavour).

“Pangram is not infallible. I’ve used it to run some of my newsletters through it, and they came back as 80% AI when I wrote every word myself. This is one of many reasons why I disagree with Substack’s decision to partner with Pangram. Another reason is that once a tool like Pangram is available to the masses, false accusations start flying around, and careers can be ruined. Whether you admit it or not, there is A LOT of jealousy in the publishing world, so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone who disliked author X decided to use Pangram on their work and made the results public. This is not the publishing world I want to live in.” (Read more: AI Accusations and Book Publishing - Kathleen Schmidt, Aug 01, 2026).

PS. I wonder how many *airport* books by some of the most successful authors in the *genre* would pass muster if subjected to #Pangram or similar GenAI tool generated analysis? Not many I’d wager. Further, what’s the bet Pangram is itself code produced by a GenAISlop machine. This AI ponzie scheme is just getting wilder and wilder by the day… BOOOMMM !
