Vauhini Vara's article discusses misconceptions surrounding her book, 'Searches,' particularly regarding her use of ChatGPT. While headlines suggest she collaborated with the AI tool, Vara clarifies her intent was critique. In her narrative, she explores the exploitation of language by tech companies, illustrating the complex relationship between users and big tech: people are both victims and beneficiaries. Using her conversations with ChatGPT, she aims to highlight how language and AI are intertwined, examining the political implications of this dynamic.
I had put my ChatGPT conversations in the book, but my goal had been critique, not collaboration.
We're both victims and beneficiaries of big tech's accumulation of wealth and power.
The converse between my narrative and ChatGPTâs responses was intended to reveal the political implications of our language use.
I planned to get ChatGPT's feedback on my writing to explore how it would unfold the politics of both my language use and AI's.
