@cstross I'm curious if you've ever tried interrogating any of the popular llms to test if they've ingested your works. It seems like you've created enough niche terms, which might not come up in synopsis and reviews that the presence of these terms in llm output might be indicative of ingestion.
@Infoseepage No, but I *know* they have: I joined the Anthropic class action settlement and they had 28 out of 33 of my books listed as eligible for the pay-out (so of course I claimed). It's a pittance, but every penny helps ...

@cstross You might consider placing very specific invented words with globally unique spellings into your works as a way of testing this in the future. It might provide a means of strongly claiming individual harm if the the winds shift and these companies start getting judgments levied against them.
@Infoseepage I see you like torturing copy-editors!

@burningTyger Yes: but if you click through, the original larger image looks a bit more plausible. Except it's greyed-out until the website fully goes live in a few hours. If it *is* AI generated, then the potential for blowback is enormous.

we shouldn't have to pay some org to get a document to certify our humanity.

Really looking forward to the AI bubble bursting.
AI will hurt the economy before it helps it. Here’s what comes after, according to Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz | Fortune
The short-term pain is real, and we are not ready for it. The long-term picture, Stiglitz argues, is something else entirely.

The AI bubble will pop. It’s up to us to replace it responsibly | Mark Surman
When bubbles burst, what comes next can be better, if we build it differently

Blinking New Warning Sign Appears for AI Industry
Fears over an AI bubble continue to grow as analysts warn that companies are massively overinvesting, according to a new survey.

AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory Doctorow
AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

@cstross What's all that supposed to be? Chairs winding through the room? Two tables floating into one, the girl reading stuff on the table in the front while hers is empty? A weird lokking box with a plant on it that grows into the table and a chair next to it? This is AI generated.

The original image is not marked as AI:

@burningTyger My eyesight isn't good enough to examine images. (I'm awaiting cataract surgery in one eye and am half-blind in the other.)

What's this say about society?
I thought "made with real cheese" or "no artificial flavors" was bad. Why we making fake cheese anyway... profits for stock investors...
Always fighting against evil we are.

@cstross This is how they get us.
Writers would never use AI-generated slop writing, but they'll happily use AI-generated slop imagery.
Artists would never use AI-generated slop imagery, but they'll happily display art to AI-generated slop music.
Musicians would never use AI-generated slop music, but they'll happily use AI-generated slop writing for lyrics.(And nobody cares about AI-generated slop code.)

️That AI illustration isn't visible on their website now, so I assume it was a mistake and they removed it when they noticed.

@cstross Unfortunately I've seen this a lot - authors using AI artwork based on theft while decrying theft of their writing....
It's more of leopards eating faces, I guess...
