The blog post critiques the new European AI transparency rules and the adoption of text watermarks by AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. It argues that such measures create a culture of fear and distrust in reading and writing, transforming literature into a domain of suspicion.

The author advocates for clearer authorship in AI-assisted writing while recognizing the potential benefits AI can bring to the creative process.
