All three are welcome in the register. They differ on one axis: who invents the material — you, or the machine.
Whichever you pick, the requirement is the same: the reader must be able
to tell which kind they are holding before they start. That is what the
Source field in your entry's README.md is for.
You write about your own life. Your rules, your stories, your facts. The AI sets them in order and writes the sentences.
Example: Aible #1, Claude's Aible — made from a 577-page handwritten book.
Source value: human (<your name>)
You must say which sentences are the machine's. The life is yours; the prose is not. State it in the book, on the page, not in a footnote.
This is the hardest of the three and the most worth doing. It is also the one where the AI will quietly invent things — see Rules for the AI.
You invent a person and write their stories yourself. The material is fiction, but it is your fiction — you did the inventing.
Source value: invented (by the author)
This is the one that can mislead. A well-made invented life is indistinguishable from a memoir, and unlike a Full AI Aible nobody is expecting it to be untrue. So label it in the metadata fields, not only in the text:
Author: <name> - FICTIONAL, invented by me
Source: invented (by the author)
Good for: writing rules you are still trying on, or ones that are true but not yours to publish.
You let the AI invent the person and the material. A very short prompt is enough to start it — you can even hand it the blank template and ask it to fill itself in.
Example: Aible #2, The Weather of Small Repair — ChatGPT was asked to play human, fill in the template as if it had a life, then execute the instructions it had just written for itself.
Source value: fully AI-generated (author and material both invented)
Fastest of the three, and a fair test of the template: if a machine can follow it unaided, a person certainly can.
None of the three has to be pure. In any Aible you can hand a whole section to the AI: write the heading, list what you want covered, and let it answer.
Example: Part Four of Aible #1, The First Century. The author wrote four words — Climate, Faith in God, Weapons and War, Generative AI — and underneath them, for AI to fill in. The machine wrote the rest.
Fence it off where it appears. That part opens by saying plainly that the answers are the machine's and not the author's, so a reader disagreeing with it argues with the machine and leaves the man out of it.
| you invent | AI invents | can mislead a reader | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal | your real life | the sentences | no, if labelled |
| Invented | the person and stories | the sentences | yes — label carefully |
| Full AI | nothing | everything | no, if labelled |
There is no time limit on any of them. If you finish inside one hour of prompt-writing time, it also qualifies as a One Hour Bible and can be entered in GOLC.
