For all you writers out there! In a world with generative AI, writers are relying more and more on ChatGPT. In an effort to be transparent Author Kester Brewin wanted to add an AI transparency statement for his book but couldn't find any. So he decided to make his own. The statement focusses on 4 key areas that needed to be covered when writing with AI: 1. Has any text been generated using AI? 2. Has any text been improved using AI? E.g. AI systems like Grammarly that offer suggestions to reorder sentences or words to increase a clarity score. 3. Has any text been suggested using AI? E.g. asking ChatGPT for an outline, or having the next paragraph drafted based on previous text. 4. Has the text been corrected using AI and – if so – have suggestions for spelling and grammar been accepted or rejected based on human discretion?

How to spot AI-generated deep-fake images In the early days, fact-checkers pointed out images with obvious errors, like hands with six fingers or eyeglasses that have differently shaped lenses. But as AI has improved, it has become a lot harder.?Still, there are some things to look for. - AI deepfake photos, especially of people, have an electronic sheen to them, an aesthetic sort of smoothing effect that leaves skin looking?incredibly polished. - Check the consistency of?shadows and lighting. Often, the subject is in clear focus and appears convincingly lifelike, but elements in the backdrop might not be realistic - Face-swapping is one of the most common deep-fake methods. Experts advise?looking closely at the edges of the face. Does the facial skin tone match the rest of the head or the body? Are the edges of the face sharp or blurry? - If looking at a video where speech has been altered, do their?lip movements?match the audio perfectly? - Teeth. Cybersecurity company Norton says algorithms might not be sophisticated enough yet to generate?individual teeth, so a lack of outlines for individual teeth could be a clue. #deepfakes #misinformation #disinformation #photos

We found some interesting new data on AI's impact on the creative economy. A new AI study by influencer agency Billion Dollar Boy of 4,000 consumers, 1,000 content creators and 1,000 senior marketing decision makers in the U.S. and U.K. on the creator economy this month found that: - 92% of marketers have commissioned creator content either fully or partly using generative AI. - 91% of creators and influencers said they use generative AI at least once a week. - 60% of consumers prefer generative AI content over traditional content - 81% of creators saw better consumer engagement on their generative AI content compared to the traditional content. - 70% of marketers saw increased marketing spending on creator content with generative AI in the past 12 months. New tech is enabling creators to develop content that is more personalized and relevant to the targeted audience at rapid speed. AI content is a way to cut through noise, while the traditional content adds depth to campaigns.?Remember, AI content doesn’t make it better by default - you still need to develop human guardrails through strong editing and review process.
