The United States Copyright Office has started scanning and flagging books that are written by humans as being written by AI.
This is some breaking news, and we have all of the details, including a statement from the United States Copyright Office.
Copyright Office told him this week that some of the text in this work may have been generated by an artificial intelligence program.
A later comment on the same thread says that he sent one sentence that tracked the office's proofreading option and then received approval in less than two hours.
And then another AuthorMedia.Social user, Chrisanne Murata, got hit on July 17th for the same thing.
It tells the applicant that copyright requires a human author, that AI generated text stays outside the claim even after numerous and or complex prompts, and that the office wants a limitation statement.
Isn't that funny? Excluding text generated by artificial intelligence if a program produced any of the deposit.
She checked the one that says the program served solely for proofreading to correct the spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
But I did get a response from a nice lady, and we talked about it for a little bit.
She says that for authors, you should be using the standard form for registering your copyright.
Check the correct boxes on it for AI use, whether you're doing spell check, illustrations, some of the content is AI generated, whatever it is.
