First, we're all encouraged to use AI to create our content. And now come the rules, etiquette, legalities and possibly even punishment.
As I'm writing this post, I see that there's a new "AI Label" requirement added to posts and a requirement to be transparent when posting AI-generated or modified content.
Right when AI was introduced to social media, I would have greatly appreciated being informed as to whether a post I was reading was written by a human or AI.
However, it seems late to the game to be rolling this out after the fact. Does anyone know when AI was rolled out on FB as compared with the AI Label requirement? I'm not sure of the timing.
Additionally, there's been rumours that AI platforms could be adding watermarks, or hidden markups and tags to the code behind the content.
So, I wrote up this little article about how to use Notepad to "clean" your text content before posting anywhere, and specifically in your website: https://fun4business.ca/use-notepad-to-remove-hidden-code-from-website-text/
Usually, I would have ChatGPT edit my text and make corrections and improvements. But I'm unsure if that would force me to mark this post as AI modified. So, I'm leaving it here for you as is.
I'd love to hear your thoughts about whether you utilize AI to write your content and if you've seen any tagging hidden in the code.
Copying text from Word, Google Docs or AI tools can bring hidden formatting with it. Learn a simple web design trick for stripping text down to clean code.
