  • In the future, will it become common for published works to note when AI was used to help write it?
    • We don't credit editors or ghost writers today.
      • It's understood that memoirs of famous / powerful people are almost certainly written by ghost writers.
    • The real test: are you willing to put your name to the output and stake your reputation on it?
      • If you stand by it, does it matter what tools you use?
    • You can imagine a little fancy latin-sounding phrase that means "I acknowledge I used AI to help produce this."[bm]
      • My vote: "colloquio machinae", for "through dialogue with the machine".
      • You can imagine people adding this after their by-line.
      • In the future, it could be reduced to just "c.m." once everyone knew what it meant, the same way "sic", "eg" and "nb" are.
