I asked my previous publisher about putting a "FACT CHECKED" sticker on my book and they said they couldn't because it would (correctly) imply most of the other ones aren't 😞 https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/nonfiction-book-publishers-arent-remotely-ready-for-ai.html

This is a skill & having standards issue.

I use AI in book writing. But I write the full draft of the text myself (using AI for feedback or when stuck to give options), use advanced models that hallucinate rarely, read every reference AI finds, & have multiple models check work.
