I don’t think security through shame is practical.
I had a similar idea for take-home tests for software interviews. Run a bash script to commit all changes in a repo every 5 seconds. The candidate then submits a tarball of the git repo. #!/usr/bin/env bash while true; do git add -A if ! git diff --cached --quiet; then git commit -m "$(date --iso-8601=seconds)" fi sleep 5 done
"Authorship creates an originality report you can share with your professor, boss, or editor. It also lets you replay your document’s creation from the first word to the last punctuation mark so you can double-check your process."
I think we are reaching a point where some kind of solid attestation that things are not AI generated would be very valuable, for all kinds of different media (printed word, photo, video, etc). I'm not sure how you would actually do any of that attestation, if it's even possible. Text seems especially difficult. Maybe photo/video could be achieved with specialized hardware and cryptographic signing though I don't kno…
I know it's inevitable, but I just hope we can collectively delay the end a bit longer.
I have a slightly different approach on my blog https://ezeugo.dev where my entire thought process (edits, original ideas, rewrites are a part of the actual essay). By making the event stream part of the product, it shows the process and output as one.
Also, I noticed that taking a neutral stance in a discussion almost always got flagged as AI. To avoid being labeled AI, you had to have a strongly opinionated tone. But that naturally exposes weaknesses in the writing.
I think if the author is trustworthy, even AI-assisted editing can still be valuable.
