Earlier this month, WIRED published an excerpt from Steve Rosenbaum’s book, *The Future of Truth*, which examines how artificial intelligence affects people’s perception of reality. Following reports that the book contained misattributed quotes, WIRED re-examined its 1,450-word excerpt. The fact-checking team confirmed the accuracy of its content, but concerns arose when a reader claimed the excerpt was 'blatantly AI-written.' Rosenbaum admitted using AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Grammarly during the research and editorial process, but insisted the final work was his own. WIRED ran the excerpt through AI-detection tools, which suggested it was likely AI-generated or AI-assisted. Rosenbaum, however, denied using AI to write or edit the excerpt, stating, 'the ideas, reporting, arguments, and final authorship are mine.' He also expressed concerns about the overreliance on AI detection tools, noting that false positives can occur. When asked directly whether he used AI to write any parts of the book, Rosenbaum declined to comment, instead emphasizing the broader impact of AI on writing practices. *Source: [wired](https://www.wired.com/story/future-of-truth-ai-interview/)*
