Hidden‑AI Pen Names

Authors are beginning to publish fiction under pen names that are partially or wholly generated by large‑language models and then test whether editors/readers can distinguish human from AI work. Such 'hidden‑AI' experiments expose gaps in editorial provenance, copyright, and disclosure norms for creative publishing. — If this practice spreads it will force immediate policy and industry choices about authorship transparency, platform takedown/monetization rules, and how literary gatekeepers certify human craftsmanship versus algorithmic generation.
