📨 Weekly digest: 01 2025 | The obsession with 'organic' creation is outdated
Is AI just another tool, like a calculator or a spellchecker? | AI this week in the news; use cases; tools for the techies
👋🏻 Hello legends, and welcome to the weekly digest, week 51 of 2024.
If it helps us produce better work, why the stigma?
“We should focus on the quality of the output, not the purity of the process."
Yes, but.
What does 'authenticity' even mean in the age of AI?
Are we so attached to the idea of human genius that we're willing to reject potentially groundbreaking ideas simply because a machine-assisted them?
Perhaps it's time to redefine our notions of creativity and authorship.
AI detection tools are becoming increasingly sophisticated.
This could lead to a more nuanced approach to disclosure, where AI's specific contributions are clearly identified and evaluated. Imagine a world where AI-assisted work is not simply dismissed as 'fake' but assessed based on its own merits.
The recent case of a student using AI to write an award-winning essay sparked heated debate. While some condemned it as cheating, others argued it demonstrated ingenuity and resourcefulness.
This incident highlights the need for clear guidelines and ethical considerations surrounding AI use in education.
What do you think?
I am looking forward to reading your thoughts in a comment.
Yael.
