A publisher pulled the horror novel “Shy Girl” after AI-writing accusations. The real story: we have no widely trusted way to verify authorship—only rumors, detectors, and reputational panic.
AI detectors are starting to function like polygraphs: influential, frequently wrong, and still used to make high-stakes decisions. That’s a problem for writers AND publishers.
If the SEC ends mandatory quarterly reports, “earnings season” won’t vanish—it’ll mutate. Companies will fill the gap with decks, KPIs, and selective narratives. The question: who benefits from less standardization?
Hot take: quarterly reports aren’t the problem. Incentives are. Change comp structures and capital allocation scrutiny—then talk about reporting cadence.
