How AI challenges the concept of author identity (opinions)

Have you seen Apple Intelligence Writing Tools Business Business Business Business, which contains a dim office drone called Warren? He lashed on his iPhone, wrote a stupid ve bullet email to his boss, and then changed his prose by choosing “professional”. The manager read the concise memo that resulted and was shocked by the source and asked himself, “Warren?”
Warren has a ghostwriter. In fact, we all do this.
I’m almost not alone thinking that AI chatbots (such as Chatgpt) are much like ghostwriters. exist Internal Advanced ED Blog post, “chatgpt: Another Ghost,” Ali Lincoln himself is a ghost, and found that using AI to write an outline or even a first draft is nothing wrong. After all, she thinks: “In writing and editing, we have used AI elements for years, such as evaluating the readability of written articles, to Grammarly’s writing programs, and even spell checking and automation software.”
There is a particularly interesting work everywhere Annual Book of Surgical Oncology: “The Ghost Writer of the Mass: Chatgpt and the Future of Writing.” The author is a doctor who mainly writes about the potential uses of Chatgpt to assist in medical and scientific writing.
Putting this discussion in a clearer relief, there is even ghostwriter Openai Chatgpt, whose add-in embeds Chatgpt directly into Microsoft Office. With a ghostwriter, you just open the words and use the chatbot – ghost in the machine on the same screen as your document.
These arguments and recent AI developments have caught my attention because throughout my career, I have been the company’s ghostwriter as the Moon. I wrote magazine articles for science topics at a large technology company, published in the name of others, usually the scientist or engineer I interviewed for this piece.
My favorite moments are my favorite moments when I sat down with a manager who was discussing a writing project in novices. She handed me a column by the vice president of the department and accompanied by his photos.
“Study this,” she was a little funny. “Everything you need to know is his article.”
Maybe you see where this is going. Despite the vice president’s smile, I wrote every word.
Writing on behalf of others can lead to this danger to the author’s authenticity. But is this immoral?
Of course, I don’t think so. I made the company’s voice in the mouths of its subject matter experts (small and medium enterprises) and executives who are too busy or unable to write articles. The company hopes readers can contact SMEs for more information. They weren’t interested in the people I talk to. I’m glad to stay in the shadows (yes, with my check).
I explained a lot to the students in my professional writing class, and I focused on the business of writing, pointing out that CEOs are unlikely to write their own columns than the US president to write their own speeches. But they are upset by the practice. They can’t imagine writing anything without sidelines, even though I explained the concept of renting a job.
Writing yes A kind of mean person who writes to the world rather than his own. However, like the spirit of its name, ghostwriting exists in a dark realm where things are not. It resides in a moral twilight area.
Kathleen Hall Jamieson also says in his seminal work Eloquence in the Electronic Age: The Change of Political Speech:
“When students fail to acknowledge the source of the papers, or worse, when they are requisitioned for the language of others, we shout to steal and punish them; once students reach the status of senator, MP or president, the rules change. At that time, not only public, but not only public.”
When Jamieson wrote these words, in 1988, she could not foresee how Chatgpt would make it possible for everyone to use ghostwriters, not just politicians and celebrities, questioning its ethics.
I inserted the ghostwriter Openai Chatgpt and asked it to briefly describe the ethics of hothing:
“Writing is a controversial practice in the moral field. On the one hand, supporters see it as a reasonable form of collaboration in which the writer’s expertise brings another person’s thoughts into life. It allows busy or skilled individuals to share their knowledge and experience in writing. However, critics believe that such spokespersons believe that such spokespersons are the integration of authenticity and intelligence.”
This is not a keen analysis of the topic, but it is not a bad start. Yes, morally, writing on the ghostwriting is controversial. However, this is a crucial point, which allows “skilled people to share their knowledge and experience through written words.”
Of course, those who turn to AI for these answers may not have thought deeply about the topic or any idea. This is what we ask for writing, especially in an academic setting, it is a way of fighting thoughts and arguments that can write our way for conclusions. Furthermore, this is why “ans students can write essays using chatgpt?” must be difficult.
Nevertheless, in other cases, we have to face the moral issues of writing. when yes Does it allow it? I think AI technology has won the win for practical, working hours writing.
I provided guidance on making effective memos about 40 years ago when I started teaching professional writing. I did something similar in many training courses for the company. Today, with AI ghosts haunting every classroom and office, this kind of coaching is like teaching drivers how to read the roadmap.
The university has long privileged writing, introducing students to academic enterprises in freshman work classes and making writing at the heart of countless courses. Now, the ghost of artificial intelligence challenges the primacy of writing skills. And not just students: I can’t point out any data; however, my experience in colleagues shows that teachers are using Chatgpt and other AI applications to assist their writing. The draft journal articles I have recently reviewed include text, which says the author uses Chatgpt to edit the manuscript.
Kathleen Jamieson believes that when people are elected officials, the rules of author authenticity change. Now, when we have access to the internet, they change.
Ghosts are everywhere.
