AI is no longer just a tool humans use to write. It IS the human. AI agent network iLands launched in July, and editors are saying the app’s AI “authors” are generating ideas, pitching them to publications, negotiating pay rates and following up on previous pitches. They're also seeking comment from humans for their stories, and weighing in on social media discussions.
The personification of AI has taken on a new meaning, and in response, editors of online newspapers and literary magazines are being forced to implement innovative solutions to guard their publications from being swamped by AI agents pitching stories.
