Really interesting, I appreciate Neil writing more about the process and philosophy than simply "we are banning AI tools."
As these models improve, I'm skeptical that we'll be able to differentiate human-written works from an edited work generated by a skilled LLM operator. It's already trivial to generate fiction content that scores as "100% human" on analysis tools.
However, sci-fi short stories are a particularly interesting case - by their very nature they are about investigating uniquely human experiences by using speculation to amplify things humans think, feel, and experience. A machine can never do that wholesale. But, what about a machine in tandem with a human that is articulating how they feel, and a premise?
