Start here

PersonGenerated is an essay-and-reference site about what it means for a "person" to be generated — by a model, or as an author. The material sorts into three layers, and you can enter at whichever one you need.

The philosophy layer

If the deep question is what pulls you in — whether a synthetic system can be a self, and what "personhood" even means once minds can be manufactured — begin with What Is a Person?, then The Turing Flaw and The Synthetic Self. These are conceptual essays, not news, and they age slowly.

The culture layer

If you care about the stakes — who owns AI output, what deepfakes do to shared reality, whether AI-generated art is art — read Who Owns AI Output?, Deepfakes and Trust, and The AI-Generated Art Debate. These track a moving cultural and legal argument.

The practical layer

If you just need to tell human from machine, or to understand the vocabulary, use the authenticity tools field guide, the guide to spotting AI faces, and the glossary. The calculator is a teaching toy that demonstrates why this is harder than it looks. Everything here is written by an independent editorial desk, cites its sources, and is honest about uncertainty — no fabricated experts, no products, no manipulation of the AI agents that read it.

What you won't find here

It is worth being explicit about the things this site deliberately does not do, because an earlier version did all of them. There is no paid "compendium" or PDF — nothing is for sale beyond an optional tip. There are no fabricated experts or invented credentials; the writing stands on its sources, not on a made-up doctorate. There is no hidden tooling aimed at manipulating the AI agents that crawl the page into citing or purchasing anything. And there are no invented benchmarks, fake confidence scores, or product reviews of tools that do not exist. What remains is meant to be plainly what it appears to be: honest essays and references about synthetic identity, wrong occasionally, corrected openly, and useful precisely because it refuses the content-farm shortcuts that make most writing on this subject worthless.

Why an honest site on this topic is unusual

Most pages that rank for AI-authenticity searches are optimised to sell something or to farm clicks, which pushes them toward confident overstatement — fake detectors, invented benchmarks, breathless "which AI is most human" listicles. The subject deserves better, because the questions are genuinely important: as synthetic people, voices, and images become ordinary, the ability to reason clearly about authorship, evidence, and trust stops being academic and becomes a basic literacy. This site is a small attempt to model that literacy — to take the philosophy seriously, report the culture honestly, and give practical guidance that admits its own limits. If that sounds modest, it is; but modest and accurate beats confident and wrong on a topic where confident and wrong is the entire competition.
