We Asked the ‘Future of Truth’ Author to Explain How He Used AI. It Didn’t Go Well

WIRED revisited claims that Steve Rosenbaum’s book on truth and AI contained misattributed or AI-made material.

Rosenbaum said he used AI for research, brainstorming, structure, and polishing, but not to write the final published text.

WIRED ran the excerpt and the full book through several detection tools, which suggested heavy AI use, though those tools can be unreliable.

The case underscores how AI-assisted writing and weak detection methods complicate authorship, disclosure, and fact-checking.
