Working on Something New Today....

I know you all hear this a lot but this came from some of my current line of research and testing using email chains as source material for some new nonfiction books on writing and the author business in general but the number of times I have seen a half a dozen videos on AI publishing, the anthropic watermarks, and KDP banning accounts I thought this was needed. The watermarks were added due to a new European law, and if the other LLM providers are not already watermarking output they soon will have to for compliance with the law. I have another article on this coming soon.

I went looking at my competition for both Bookweaver.pro which is tremendously under used right now and for WordCrafter.pro which already has features and dimensions no one else has hit (yet..it will happen). Only ONE has a "Rights Certificate". According to two of my legal friends this is a nice fiction that really says nothing.

We can only copyright that portion of a manuscript that is written by human hands at this time, but how do you prove this? By building in a Provenance layer! This has several parts to it to be of real value and the last piece of it has to be done very carefully but is the most important.

Sidebar: Has anyone ever seen a "certified" psychic or tarot reader? Who certifies them and under what authority? I've always wondered this. And some will explain themselves with great authority. As a personal reveal, I collect and read tarot and have for many years and will always be "un-certified" (Also working on my own deck design).

In the late 90's I even met a truly serious 9th generation High Priestess of Cthulhu that was in her early 20's. Some of you should be laughing here, for those that aren't: H.P. Lovecraft first wrote of the Elder God in 1926 and his short story "The Rats in the Walls" was my first introduction to true horror and still messes with me.

So certifications are important even if some of them are absurd.

What i am building, and it will be live tonight even if it is as yet unnecessary, but everything we create using Ai from now on it may matter to, the 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿. This has taken a bit of time to work out.

What it does is track all inputs and keystrokes to verify what is AI, what is not, and what is unknown due to ambiguous source. You can turn on a Provenance view in the editor pane and colored bars in the left hand gutter will tell you line by line what is what. Cool right? but not eminently useful for copyright. It also produces a report a sample output of which is below. This is the first tool that hits the new tiering system before it happens as there are two different levels of detail at Pro and Studio/VIP levels. A sample three page report is below.

So this is helpful, but it's not a "certified" document is it? And this is why I put the sidebar in above. If there is no certification authority how can it be certified? Each final document will have a hash and the option for the author to use this to verify the information in the report to a published by giving them a verification number that can be put on a special page in WCP that will identify whether or not the book/manuscript has been altered after the report was issued. I'm going to have to put in some legal disclaimers as I truly do not want to be involved in someone else's lawsuit if I can avoid it.

YOU have the control of how you use this and who sees your report. But it will five you definitive tracking within WCP of what is created by human effort and what is created with Ai help for copyright purposes better than any other system i have been able to find as of today.
