I was reviewing something I had written the other day when I realized I had used the word 'delve'. What did this mean? Had I succumbed to parroting the AI style? Wasn't I afraid of being labeled an AI user? Neither: it was just the word that seemed to fit. I left it in. So anyhow, this article wrestles with a similar dilemma for academic writers. What happens to creative thought when AI is everywhere? "Users become both architects and artefacts." I had a few responses to the paper: one, a visceral dislike for the writing style; another, wherein I commented on LinkedIn, "Makes you pine for the days when only the rich could afford intellectual dishonesty and unearned advantage." Another, where I considered the possibility that there was a genuine issue being raised that addressed both human and AI content equally. In the end, all I was left with was 'meh'.
