Author's Guild

Per the Author's Guild website:

"Human Authored is a certification mark owned by the Authors Guild that may be used to indicate that a book was written by a human and not generated by AI. “Human Authored” means that the text of the work was fully authored by one or more human beings and not generated by GAI, except that a de minimis (e.g., very small or trifling) amount of text may be generated or modified by or with the use of GAI, e.g., through the use of GAI-powered spelling and grammar check applications or to create indices."

What that means to me

All my work is original. I do not use AI to come up with an idea nor flesh it out. I have never, and will never, use AI to give me an outline for the work or explain to me the tropes needed for the genre.

To my knowledge, I have never accepted an AI generated cover for my works.

I have and will use AI to help with editing in the context of spell check.

I have used AI online to direct me in research to print sources.

I have used AI to double check any math used in books (ie passage of time, travel distance, ect.) because math is the worst.
