AI: bad news for all humans/writers | Say No to ChatGPT
 |
| AI destroyed both |
By Trace Hentz, founder of BHB
I can only speak for myself - I WILL NEVER EVER use AI to generate any writing. I never have, and never will.
First, I would feel so duped (cheated, scammed) to find out a book was written by artificial intelligence (AI) but has some famous author's name on it. (I really don't read much fiction but this affects all types of books. Publishers out to make a quick buck could find ways to create new fake authors,too.)
Secondly, AI is not human.
Sad to say, I think AI has already destroyed book publishing. AI has been around awhile. We don't really know how many authors have already used it - or will even admit it.
It could be widespread already.
When I found out google and microsoft bing, (even wordpress) are using AI, I stopped searching with them.
DUPED? How would you feel if your favorite writer didn't write his last book but you spent good money to buy it? Wouldn't you be ANGRY?
If a writer DOES use AI to create a book, THEY MUST disclose it.
Do you think they will?
ANYWAY, it's bad news.

Is AI-Generated Content Copyrightable?
CopyrightTips from experts* at CopyrightsNow.com
If your book includes AI-generated images or text from Chat-GPT or other tools… can you copyright it?
The topic of AI (Artificial Intelligence) is front-and-center in the news, as Congress is considering new laws to regulate its use — and many ‘tech gurus’ like Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak have advocated a temporary halt on artificial intelligence systems that are more powerful than GPT-4.
Despite these concerns, AI is becoming more prevalent and available to authors and creators… including ChatGPT plug-ins that enable writers to easily generate text. But will AI-generated content be copyrightable?
Is AI-generated content copyrightable?
According to the U. S. Copyright Office, works created by AI — known as “generative AI” are technologies that generate “original” content based on prompts from humans. USCO has received many “copyright applications that name AI as the Author or Co-Author or statements in the ‘Author Created’ or ‘Notes’ fields indicating content was produced by or with the assistance of AI.
Other applications have not disclosed the inclusion of AI-generated material but have mentioned the names of AI technologies in the title of the work or the ‘acknowledgments’ section of the deposit.”
In response, the U.S. Copyright Office (USCO) recently announced new policy guidelines* on “Works Containing Material Generated by Artificial Intelligence”.
How does U. S. copyright law treat AI-generated content?
USCO currently interprets AI-generated text and images as not protected under copyright law since they were produced by a machine based on prompts from humans.
In a recent case involving a graphic novel “Zarya of the Dawn”, featuring AI-generated images, USCO determined that ‘the text of the graphic novel as well as the selection, coordination, and arrangement of the Work’s written and visual elements’ are protectable under copyright law’… but that AI-generated images were not protected.
For AI-generated material, USCO will consider whether the AI contributions are the result of “mechanical reproduction” or of an author’s “own original mental conception, to which [the author] gave visible form.”
If a work’s traditional elements of authorship were produced by a machine, the work lacks human authorship and USCO will not register it.
For example, when an AI technology receives a prompt from a human and automatically produces complex written, visual, or musical works in response, then “traditional elements of authorship” were produced by the technology — not a human user — and therefore not copyrightable.
When your content includes an AI technology as part of the expressive elements, the generated material is not the product of human authorship and therefore that material is not protected by copyright and must be disclaimed in a copyright registration application.
When registering your work with software like CopyrightsNow**, an applicant should check: ‘Pre-Existing 3rd Party Material’ to limit the copyright claim by listing AI-generated contributions that are excluded from registration, such as:
Limitations:
• AI-generated Text
• AI-generated Images
• AI-generated Music
Applicants have a duty to disclose inclusion of AI-generated content in their work submitted for registration and an obligation to specifically disclaim that AI content from the copyright registration.
For example, a work that incorporates AI-generated text into a larger textual work should only claim the portions of the text that is human-authored. And an applicant who creatively arranges the human and non-human content within a work should fill out the “Author Created” contribution as: “Selection, coordination, and arrangement of [describe human-authored content] created by the author and [describe AI content] generated by AI.”
Applicants should not list the AI technology or company that provided it as an Author or Co-Author simply because they used it when creating their work.
👉Applicants who fail to disclose material generated by AI risk losing the benefits of the registration. (FUNNY!!!) If the Office becomes aware that essential information to its evaluation of registrability “has been omitted from the application or is questionable,” it may deny or cancel the registration.
Separately, a court may disregard a registration in an infringement action pursuant to section 411(b) of the Copyright Act if it concludes that the applicant knowingly provided the Office with inaccurate information, and the accurate information would have resulted in the refusal of the registration.
Therefore it is essential that authors and publishers fully disclose the use of AI-generated content in the original copyright application.
