"The recent Michigan shootings are a tragic reminder of the importance of taking care of each other. There is a sick and twisted irony to making a computer write your message about community and togetherness because you can't be bothered to reflect on it yourself."
"Ghostwriting, a paid arrangement in which one person writes under another's name, has existed for over a century. The term seems to have first appeared in the English language in a 1908 newspaper article."
"Today, ghostwriting usually involves collaborations between professional writers and celebrities or professionals who otherwise wouldn't have the time, skill or connections to write a book."
In February 2023, Vanderbilt University sent an email to students referencing a tragic shooting, which included a disclaimer that it was paraphrased from ChatGPT. This led to student objections regarding the use of AI for a message about community. An apology followed, and the university initiated an investigation into the incident. The situation raised ethical questions about the use of chatbots and ghostwriting, a practice that has existed for over a century, highlighting ongoing discomfort with authorship and authenticity in writing.
