How about owning a typewriter that types on its own?
- darthoctopus 2mo agoThat makes the typewriter the actual writer and you the credit-taker, just like in present ghostwriting arrangements
- KronisLV 2mo ago> the credit-taker Isn’t this what society already largely rewards? See the personality cults around CEOs and not even founders.
- soco 2mo agoNevertheless, those books aren't sold for the writing style, but because they're about the cult leader. So not the "writer" is prized (ghost or not) but the personality.
- cassianoleal 2mo agoStill doesn't make you a writer.
- jLaForest 2mo agoMay I ask how you became credentialed in gatekeeping? Did you study gatekeeping in school, obtain a gatekeeping degree and pass the gatekeeping professional associations exam? No? Then you are not qualified to say that other people are not qualified! Do you see the absurdity of your position now?
- kraken_cult 2mo agoIf someone or something does the writing for you, you are, by definition, not a writer.
- jhbadger 2mo agoBut this is an unrealistic view of how AI works. You don't say "make this" and get a finished product. It is very much a back and forth process, very much like a boss to their employee. And I imagine most people have experienced presentations where your boss claims credit (ideally mentioning you at some point) for the result.
- soco 2mo agoThen you can call yourself "editor", if you want to even "editor in chief". But you're still not the writer.
