Have you been wondering if this or that you're seeing is generated by AI? I've been looking at this nice role-playing book, Umdaar: Rebel Broadcast Edition (affiliate link goes to the publisher, I think). One reader raised the following point:
"On the page it says "Human created without AI" but when I pass my cursor on the art everywhere in the book there is a note saying "AI generated content" I haven't found a place it doesn't yet.... Wouldn't have bought it had I known."
The publisher says it's impossible and starts investigating.
"No — that shouldn't be the case at all. I don't know why it would be indicating it was either. In fact, all the artwork aside from the cover (which was definitely done by human Lorne Colt) was created before the LLM AI technology even existed (we used artwork we commissioned from humans back in the 2010s), so it's frankly impossible. … After some research I've found out that Adobe InDesign deployed a new auto-generate-alt-text-with-AI feature when I wasn't looking, and made it turned on BY DEFAULT. Fully ridiculous and sickening. We'll get it fixed."
Thanks for nothing, Adobe, LLM AI and everybody else driving the world into the abyss.
