Interesting! As a member of the #SocietyOfAuthors, I commend my trade union!#BrettScott launched his similar badge — which I include with my online writing — over a year ago with this brilliant essay:

Does the Order of the Yellow Map also publish the Liber Paginarum Fulvarum?@HighlandLawyer @Remittancegirl No, but … they're not good people. (Think the worst kind of fire'n'brimstone presbyterians, then give them that old time TESCREAL religion and a justified terror of the Basilisk At The End Of Time.)

@cstross so they are going to label works as non ai? Instead if labeling ai works? A rating or badge system? Will it be crowd sourced?

@Moonlight_Crazy Don't know, they haven't launched yet. Check the web site.

The type who live in fear that someone, somewhere, is enjoying themself; and who disapprove of sex because it might lead to dancing. -

@cstross This will help AI scrapers (who've never respected licensing terms, terms of service, copyright, etc.) immensely by providing them with an ongoing training data guaranteed to not be AI tainted.Thanks, Society of Authors! Great job.

(Am currently writing a sequence in which someone in authority learns that an entire barrier reef of skulls have disappeared from an ossuary world because these ass-hats are trying to bring about the Skullularity.)

@Infoseepage Good point!
But it will almost certainly also identify works whose authors are adamantly opposed to the use of LLMs, that are off-limits for training, and where the copyright owners will sue. (If this had existed in 2016 it'd have made the Anthropic AI class action lawsuit an absolute slam-dunk.)

well... we'll see but i fear it will be something else authors are going to be expected to pay for that doesn't really move the needle

Does the Skullularity create a black hole which removes quantum cranularity, or are they just as thick as two short Plancks? -

@cstross Yeah, I'm not saying that there's no benefit to this, but so far what we've largely seen from western legal system is nothing and that's probably reflective of the political hierarchs coming out firmly in support of AI, money laundering tokens and every other morally reprehensible scheme, so long as they get their cut.

To me, the legal cases against llm creative regurgitation engines should already be so strong as to result in these companies flat out being ended by the judgments levied against them, but that's not what we've seen so far. The first time these things started spewing out paragraph after paragraph of Stephen King verbatim on demand, that should have been the end of these companies. -

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.
