This is just absurd. The concept isn't entirely without value, as some people really do appreciate pure artisanal work, but for most use cases, it's totally irrelevant.

The value of the work is in the end result, not the production process. The labor theory of value was disproven decades ago.

I love how we invented AI, then after we need to make a product to certify that things are real. AI is coming. Drawing and painting art will go in the way of handcrafted toys, horses and buggies, hand built homes (that going to loose), hand crafted writing, and hand crafted music. I guess watching Yellowstone will have new meaning to everyone, that cowboy way of life will ride off into the sunset. And 40y from now, few will apperciate it, and fewer will care about it. And that is just the nasty truth. But honestly hand-crafted paintings and drawings and writing, had a good long run, and I will always search for that ninch market of watching a guy on the street paint or draw and apperciating it, no certification needed just my eyes watching talent.

Organic range free artisanal writing, bro. We got locally sourced paragraphs. Grass fed authors. Ethically sourced nouns.

This is a great written prose by someone clever. Made me laugh. The difference between listening to Michael Jackson raw and Bad Bunny. Either way, I believe this will be the language of the last Cowboys. And fewer of us will search it out over the years. Keep it real. Understand what is coming. Love it, Dave!

Artisan would be more terrifying if I could not reasonably hope it's irrelevant to the use and monetization of AI tools.

The SJWs will love it, as will our would-be aristo masters

Looks like another money grab by those trying to prey on authors and their insecurities over this AI Red Scare. The people selling the picks and shovels to the hordes of aspiring writers are the ones assured of making a profit in this cutthroat industry.

That's exactly what this looks like.
