    I can imagine if I tried to write a novel, it'd get flagged as AI nonsense.

      This is like the job postings which require ten years of experience with something that came out last year.

    Truly it's important that authors like Chuck Tingle have their genuine creative works protected from confused association with LLM books.

      I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but I hope you aren't. There are people who sincerely enjoy Chuck Tingle's works.

        Tongue in cheek. I sincerely believe what I wrote, but intentionally picked an example that would challenge people's perceptions. I have a dry sense of humor.

          Thanks for clarifying :) I'm always excited for when people learn of Chuck Tingle for the first time, and become one of today's lucky 10,000.

        Besides, even if you aren't a "Fucked in the Butt by My Own Butt" fan, he's got a couple books that are less that and more what most people would call "serious" literature.

          That's "Pounded in the Butt by my Own Butt" for your information. The great chuck tingle would never lower himself to the use of vulgarity!

    In ten years, this won't matter. I'm not exactly sure why it won't matter, but it will likely be to the combination of so much LLM slop/not slop being produced, LLM slop becoming good enough to not be slop, and authors having to use LLMs to be competitive as authors. It's like the certification of horses vs cars. The speed will be more important than the vehicle. Sure there will be people that enjoy riding horses, but it will be more of a "how quaint" or "what an expensive hobby" reaction.

        Man, I hope so. Some people do go to the farmer's market to buy honey still after all. But most get their honey from the grocery store. But how will you confirm that a product is not AI generated...

        Man, I hope so. Some people do go to the farmer's market to buy honey still after all. But most get their honey from the grocery store.

        But how will you confirm that a product is not AI generated as it gets better. With honey, or paintings - it's obvious to the casual consumer. But when it's just text - it won't be as obvious as the quality improves.

          What a perfect example. There’s some confusion over if grocery store honey is real, diluted with sugar water, or straight up sugar water.

      This is... depressing. I hope there will always be a place for genuine, timeless literature. Making a classic, a magnum opus, or masterpiece may be impossible in this world.
