  • What if the drafts were created using AI too?

    Code is often in a source control system of some sort, which tracks changes to the code (who changed it, when it was changed, and a description of what was changed). It’s similar to having a lot of drafts.

    I don’t think that could prove that a human wrote it, though.

    I think in cases like this, the author could prove they created the code/story/art/whatever by having a deep understanding of the material. That’s how Michael Jackson defended against lawsuits saying he copied someone else’s song - he described his songwriting process and could hum/beatbox every instrument in the track.






  • wait for a Steam sale.

    Not sure why someone in this community would suggest Steam over GOG. Every game on GOG is DRM-free, so you own it forever and the installer will keep working even if GOG goes away.

    Games on Steam are a license they can revoke at any time. You don’t actually own the game. Some games are DRM-free, but there’s no way to get a standalone installer for them.

    Some people pirate or crack games they legally own, just so they have more flexibility and aren’t treated like a criminal by DRM systems. You don’t need to worry about that with GOG.
