In this episode, I delve into the multifaceted topic of AI disclosure, watermarks, and authorship. This conversation is sparked by the recent changes across platforms like Instagram, Substack, and Claude, where AI involvement is being more transparently marked.

I share my own experiences and thoughts on how these changes impact content creators, especially in terms of originality and authorship. We explore the distinction between AI-assisted and AI-generated content and how various platforms are handling this differentiation.

I also discuss how these changes are driven by the EU AI Act, which mandates transparency in AI-created content, and how this legislation is applied unevenly across different platforms. Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to consider their own stance on AI use and its implications for personal branding and professional reputation.

This conversation is especially relevant for business owners who utilize AI to manage their workload. Join me as we navigate this evolving landscape and reflect on the role AI plays in our content creation processes.

AI assistance is not authorship. If I wrote the idea, the argument, the meaning, the emotional core, and the final judgment, then it is my work. If Claude helped translate it, polish a sentence, or make it clearer, that does not suddenly make Claude the author. But a watermark absolutely changes how people perceive authorship. People are not going to say, “Claude may have been involved in processing this text.” They are going to say, “AI wrote this.”
