The Society of Authors (UK) is helping launch this: an identifier for human-authored (i.e. non-AI) books: https://humanauthored.co.uk/

EDIT: aaaaaand they used AI-generated artwork 🤦🏻‍♂️

EDIT UPDATE: they ditched the AI-generated art. Good.

Home - Human Authored

In a world of generative AI, recognising human creativity is vital This is why we’re developing a Human Authored mark to enable all types of writers and literary translators to label their work as Human Authored. The scheme is set to launch on Tuesday, 10 March 2026 at 5pm GMT. Days Hours Minutes Seconds

@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.)

@datarama @cstross I wish more coders would, but at least I know I'm not alone in hating all kinds of AI slop.
