Hi Dr Raddaoui, your insightful piece touches on a crucial topic, going beyond legal matters to explore the emotional, cognitive, and social aspects. As AI technology progresses, the lines between human and AI-generated text blur. Your introduction of the "distance" concept to gauge the connection between authors and their text is thought-provoking and touches the heart of the matter.
Using various relevant scenarios, you effectively illustrate how genuine authorship entails emotional and cognitive investment, something lacking in AI-generated content. The disruption of social intimacy between author and reader when text is AI-generated is a significant point you address, evoking feelings of detachment and insincerity.
Over the last 12 months, I observed this situation on Medium with feedback from the readers of my publications. They quickly sensed AI-generated content and did not like it. Some even got very upset naturally as they were copied and pasted from those tools sounding too mechanistic. Therefore, I created a solution by establishing a publication called the Lampshade of ILLUMINATION to separate human-generated content from AI-generated content from my other pubs.
I also received AI-generated comments on my stories that were easily noticeable and showed the distance and lack of human touch. Your story is educative, and I hope those people had a chance to read your insightful story.
Your nuanced perspective, acknowledging the integration of AI in writing processes, highlights the collaborative nature of modern content creation.
Coming from a tech background with decades of content development experience, I wrote a similar story, giving perspectives from multiple angles. One of the less spoken aspects of multilingual writing is a unique accent, which I tried to articulate in this piece as it is confused with AI writing since it might create distance for some native speakers of the written language. I link it here for interested readers.
