I envision the opposite:
In the future, I imagine authors will go to great lengths to prove their works to be authentically human. It may become standard practice for authors to live-stream their writing. Literally a years-long stream of them sitting at their desk. Comments turned off.
Perhaps libraries could even offer this as a service. Offer a space where authors can come write in public and have it simultaneously live-streamed. Maybe it becomes the norm for authors to mostly write publicly on a platform like Twitch, but to occasionally write in public spaces where they can be physically observed.
This will not be a legal requirement to publish a book. But no respectable author would do otherwise.
artists (the drawing kind) have been posting timelapse of them drawing art for quite some time. It has since increased when AI sloperators flooded the field. But now I've heard some aren't even going to post them anymore, since the sloperators are training on those to make fake timelapse.
