John Self @john-self.bsky.social · 15/07/2025Tried to quote tweet this but couldn’t - so sharing in screenshot. Faber has introduced a ‘Human Written’ maker’s mark for Sarah Hall’s new book, with Hall’s US publisher following suit. I think others are planning to do it too. 59748 0
Rhioween @digitalisnarcissus.bsky.social · 15/07/2025It's good, but could do with being wider. I don't want AI editing, translation, narration, or illustration either. 000 0
Paul Sweeney @paulsweeneypoet.bsky.social · 15/07/2025By the way, just terrible marketing . Real amateur stuff. “You” are the real thing, “they” must label themselves. You are the default. They are the derivative. You are Gucci. They are the knockoff. Pretty basic marketing . 010 0
Ian Curtin @iancurtin.bsky.social · 15/07/2025Interesting move. If nothing else, it opens up a rich new field of book #content - extensive investigations leading to gotchas ("Shock at Atwood cyborg revelation") and the upcycling of decades of food-label discourse (Is it Really Handmade? What Does Organic Really Mean?) - possibly using AI. 000 0
Maylin @blithespirit4.bsky.social · 15/07/2025I really despair that this is needed. I feel 2025 may be the threshold year where I no longer read new books as there will always be doubt as to whether it was written, even partially, by AI. Not that I couldn't be happy with my huge pre-2025 library of unread books for the rest of my life. 000 0
