Artificial intelligence: creation of a label to guarantee that a book was indeed written by a human

This book was indeed written by a human, and not in a few hours by an artificial intelligence: this is the promise of a label with which the Librinova publishing house is associated, which allows self-publishing. Librinova announced Monday January 8 in a press release that it had joined forces with Label Création humaine, a company launched in 2023 to certify that a work (written, audiovisual or musical) had indeed come from a human brain.

This service, first offered to Librinova authors from mid-January, and which seeks to attract other publishers, will allow the label to be affixed to the cover of a book if the author wishes. More and more self-published books, particularly on Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing platform, are written by generative artificial intelligence software. Librinova and Label Création humaine estimate that there are “several thousand” in France.

Written in record time, they often suffer from serious factual errors, as generative AI regularly makes. The family of Léon Gautier, a Frenchman who participated in the Landings of June 6, 1944, denounced in December a biography published on Amazon by a certain “Grace Shaw”, full of untruths. Published two days after the death of this hero of the Liberation, in July 2023, it affirmed, among other things, that he had been a prisoner in Germany.

Other titles are causing dissatisfaction among Amazon customers. A buyer of “Stoicism: the 10 secrets of ancient spirituality to better live modern life”, by a certain “Aurèle Martin”, shows a page containing a false quote from Marcus Aurelius, this Roman emperor exhorting to “cultivate a healthy relationship with screens.

Librinova is one of the most prolific publishers in France, with 9,000 titles since its creation in 2014. Authors pay to be published, with the advantage that they then receive a significant portion of the sale price (70%), but the disadvantage is that they do not benefit from the visibility of a traditional publisher.
