I donât understand why you put such a significance on the drafting of the material. Someone could have more problematic use of AI if they simply deferred to erroneous AI research findings and made a post in his/âher own words. Someone could brainstorm and follow the erroneous reasoning of an AI and do so in human words. Conversely, AI could draft words where the research and reasoning is checked and the words to express the thoughts are iterated many times between human/âAI to come to a very strong and clear method of expressing it.
Your drawing the line at drafting both does not capture many bad uses of AI and also captures many good or great uses of AI, in my view.
I think your perspective is reasonable here, itâs just not whatâs important to me. Genuine unfiltered human interaction is important to me. Knowing that Iâm talking with someone without an AI in between is important to me. If thatâs not important to you thatâs fine. This is important to me not only because I value true direct human interaction, but also (as a secondary problem) because I think AI writing is samey and boring. Maintaining a public writing space with true diversity, quirkiness and strong voices is part of what drives engagement and excitement.
When I see your name on something, I want it to be 100% your voice and your words like we are talking in a public space. Or at the very least I want you to tell me if itâs not. If youâre not concerned with that, then we have a fundamental almost axiomatic difference about what matters in a forum like this. I think thatâs part of the reason why thereâs a bit of a chasm between our views, and those who are happy with AI writing things. The quality of ideas and reasoning is only half of what matters for me. The other half is the discussion and interaction between usâthe mingling of our minds. Iâm not sure we can resolve this difference. If you genuinely donât mind whoâs âbrainâ words came from, and think that otherâs donât have the right to know that as well, thatâs reasonable but we may have fundamentally different beliefs.
A human or an AI could do good or bad research, Iâm less concerned with that. Karma will sort that out. Karma canât answer the human interaction question above. We can discern from outside whether an argument is good or not. We canât discern from outside whose words they areâthatâs why we need the start-of-post disclosure at the very least (I would go further). An analogy might be if someone did a bunch of research for you and sent it to you, and then you used half of their words in your post. Ignoring the plagiarism element, that wouldnât be you talking with me it would be someone else which would be dishonestâunless you said âhey this article is half my research assistantâs words and half mine).
I think as a human I have the right to know who Iâm interacting with.
