What would be the best way to demonstrate no AI has been used in your writing or creative process? (lemmy.world)

I was thinking that publishing some of the handwritten notes (or as many of them as possible) might help. For me, that would be enough evidence to indicate that a writer wasn't lazy and came up with these ideas on their own - assuming the writing itself doesn't have any obvious AI tropes in.

But I feel like there are other ways, and I'm curious what ideas everyone else has

In programming, we use a tool called "Git" to keep track of changes we make to a piece of software, well, and also to collaborate with other devs.

I've been using Git to have a history of how my text-based creative projects evolve (not just writing 😅). And then I'm publishing those like an open-source code repository. So, others can go through the history and look at the first draft, or the final edits, or everything in between.

Obviously, though, this does mean that your final result is public as well, unless you find a way to only give access to paying customers, I guess.

To give an example, here's a short tech explainer thingy I wrote: https://trem.codeberg.page/rust/macro_rules.html
And here's the complete change history: https://codeberg.org/trem/pages_src/commits/commit/830718aaa788ac00fb7ba9635c405f7c18cc76fb/src/rust/macro_rules.md

Really useful answer, thank you

You can also do that and keep your git private, maybe available on request for proof.

Yeah I need to get familiar with git for programming so this is great advice, i suppose I'll keep one account private and one public
