It uses advanced language technologies, but not generative AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that InstaText, as an editing assistant, does not generate new content, but only analyzes, processes, and improves existing content. The text <strong>edited with InstaText<\/strong> is therefore <strong>not AI-generated<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Examples of generative AI use restrictions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some examples of top publications, both academic and non-academic, that have banned or restricted the use of generative AI in their editorial policies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TechCrunch, a leading technology publication, has made its stance on generative AI clear in its guest column <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2023\/08\/17\/how-to-submit-a-guest-column-to-techcrunch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guidelines<\/a>: &#8220;We do not accept contributions that include text or images produced via generative artificial intelligence.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/content\/page\/science-journals-editorial-policies#authorship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">editorial policy<\/a> of Science, one of the world&#8217;s leading peer-reviewed academic journals, contains strict authorship guidelines: &#8220;AI-assisted technologies [such as large language models (LLMs), chatbots, and image creators] do not meet the <em>Science<\/em> journals&#8217; criteria for authorship and therefore may not be listed as authors or coauthors, nor may sources cited in <em>Science<\/em> journal content be authored or coauthored by AI tools.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2024\/01\/write-for-agenda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">publication terms<\/a> of The World Economic Forum state: &#8220;The use of artificial intelligence\u2014specifically LLMs\u2014should be limited to generating ideas or helping with structure, but not as a sole research tool or to generate unedited or unverified content.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It asks authors and creators who use LLM tools for background work to make this clear when pitching their article, emphasizing that &#8220;the Forum&#8217;s reputation carries with it accountability and a need for fresh thinking.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\" id=\"block-5472b9ae-04c6-4650-b5b7-3740d62d231b\">&#8220;AI-assisted technologies [such as large language models (LLMs), chatbots, and image creators] do not meet the <em>Science<\/em> journals&#8217; criteria for authorship and therefore may not be listed as authors or coauthors, nor may sources cited in <em>Science<\/em> journal content be authored or coauthored by AI tools.&#8221;<br><br><strong>\u2014 Science<\/strong> journal<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What publishing is really about: Creating, not repeating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you think about it, &#8220;<strong>fresh thinking<\/strong>,&#8221; as The World Economic Forum puts it, is the <strong>real purpose of publishing<\/strong>, isn&#8217;t it?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The editorial guidelines reminding us of this fact are counterintuitive, but they are emphasized today more than ever as we tend to forget that publishing was originally intended as the next logical step after &#8220;<strong>creating,<\/strong>&#8221; not <strong>&#8220;regurgitating&#8221; <\/strong>old ideas\u2014which is exactly what AI does when it is used to write from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to <strong>originality<\/strong>, <strong>InstaText <\/strong><strong>leads the way<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And originality always pays off\u2014whether you\u2019re a journalist covering a story, a blogger who wants to follow Google\u2019s AI content <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/google-ai-content-in-search-results\/478889\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recommendations<\/a>, a student writing your thesis, an academic looking to publish your research paper, a startup founder working on an opinion piece, an author writing a book, or an expert writing a thought leadership article.<\/p>\n\n\n<div

generator<\/strong>, i.e. it does not create new content based on pre-existing data or ideas, as generative AI tools do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, InstaText\u2014as an editing assistant powered by other types of advanced language technologies\u2014works with the content you&#8217;ve written and focuses solely on <strong>improving the way your ideas are expressed<\/strong>, rather than adding new information or changing the core message.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ensures that the originality of your text is preserved and that you remain the author of the content.<\/p>\n\n\n<div
