• Title: The Dearth of the Author in AI-Supported Writing
• Authors: Max Kreminski,
• Abstract summary: We argue that the dearth of the author helps to explain a number of recurring difficulties and anxieties around AI-based writing support tools. It also suggests an ambitious new goal for AI-based writing support tools.

• Abstract: We diagnose and briefly discuss the dearth of the author: a condition that arises when AI-based creativity support tools for writing allow users to produce large amounts of text without making a commensurate number of creative decisions, resulting in output that is sparse in expressive intent. We argue that the dearth of the author helps to explain a number of recurring difficulties and anxieties around AI-based writing support tools, but that it also suggests an ambitious new goal for AI-based CSTs.

  We study whether and how the disclosure of the level and type of AI assistance in the writing process would affect people's perceptions of the writing. Our results suggest that disclosing the AI assistance in the writing process, especially if AI has provided assistance in generating new content, decreases the average quality ratings.

• Prompting the E-Brushes: Users as Authors in Generative AI [0.0]
  The Copyright Office, in its March 2023 Guidance, argues against users of Generative AI being eligible for copyright protection. This Article challenges this viewpoint and advocates for the recognition of Generative AI users who incorporate these tools into their creative endeavors. Rather than dismissing the contributions generated by AI, this Article suggests a simplified and streamlined registration process.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized the domain of natural language processing (NLP) with remarkable capabilities of generating human-like text responses. Despite these advancements, several works in the existing literature have raised serious concerns about the potential misuse of LLMs. To address these concerns, a consensus among the research community is to develop algorithmic solutions to detect AI-generated text.

  ChatGPT, a question-answering system released by OpenAI in November 2022, has demonstrated a range of capabilities that could be utilised in producing academic papers. This raises critical questions surrounding the concept of authorship in academia. We propose a framework we name "PaperCard", a documentation for human authors to transparently declare the use of AI in their writing process.

  In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on understanding and mitigating adverse impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on society. A significant challenge in the design of ethical AI systems is that there are multiple stakeholders in the AI pipeline, each with their own set of constraints and interests. This position paper outlines some potential ways in which generative artworks can play this role by serving as accessible and powerful educational tools.
