Writing is an exercise in the art of persuasion. If we use AI we lose the art | Alan Finkel
An opinion piece by Alan Finkel in The Guardian discusses the ethical implications of using AI in writing, particularly within academic and journalistic contexts. Finkel argues that undisclosed AI authorship undermines the art of persuasion and the reader's right to know the origin of the content. He proposes "de minimis standards" for AI use, suggesting AI should assist with research and editing but not generate sentences or paragraphs, a stance universities and publications should adopt to maintain transparency and human authorship.
