> my Claude Code written book > I carefully craft and review these > I'm not trying to claim it as my own I'm confused, is it your book, or not? here's an idea. you call it a "FOSS book"? OK, treat writing it like an open-source project. start a public GitHub repo. have your chatbot generate chapter 1. commit it to the repo, and in the commit message document the LLM prompt you used. "you are an established author writing a book called Teach Yourself Quantum Computing in 24 Hours" or whatever. then, whatever "careful" edits you make manually to that LLM output, do those as separate commits/PRs. show your work. the LLM is going to hallucinate and get subtle details wrong, your role as a human co-author is theoretically to be a subject-matter expert and catch those mistakes.

These are all open source github repos. Claude code came up with the commit messages; I'm guiding the tone and content. I read it as it is generated, and review it. I recommend getting a folder with claude code, codex cli, or gemini cli, and tell it it's an author writing a book. Once you've done the work, you'll know how much is human and how much is machine. Moot point amongst all the haters. I'm hoping some more PRs will come in and this content will evolve into a new form of media we collaborate on together.

LLMs are often configured to be extremely agreeable and friendly with their users. if you spend a lot of time talking with a chatbot, that may become a subconscious expectation you have for all conversations, including with regular ol' humans. you've gotten some very mild and reasonable pushback in this thread. jumping immediately to talking about "all the haters" is a bit of an over-reaction.
