Opinion
Predictions are risky for columnists, but I will venture one anyway: In the near future, all fiction manuscripts will have to pass through an artificial intelligence detector before they are published. This will not happen easily, but it will happen. There have simply been too many scandals in which authors are suspected of submitting AI-written work, most recently the winner of the Caine Prize for African Writing.
TL;DR
- Columnists are making predictions about future publishing practices.
- It is predicted that AI detectors will become mandatory for fiction manuscripts.
- This shift is expected due to recent scandals involving suspected AI-written work.
- The winner of the Caine Prize for African Writing is a recent example of such a scandal.
