Author and tech creative Jaron Lanier is an AI expert with broad experience of AI. Lanier reminds us that human creativity has a 'scent'. We'll take Lanier's idea and trace its potential value in the earlier days of AI detection. Our focus here is on LLMs; later we'll take a walk into the wild and consider other angles to traceability.

Language professionals such as speech therapists can be drawn to chatGPT for source materials, yet what might this mean down the track? In making decisions about the types of inputs that we give to people as they acquire language, we shape what is possible for them? There is a bit of 'hand of the creator' going on. Is long term harm possible?
