Doug Belshaw outlines his approach for AI-assisted blog authoring (which, presumably, he has also employed here). "To me," he writes, "authenticity is a construct. It is not something that lives inside the text itself, but is rather a relationship between the writer, the reader, and their shared context... Posts I publish here are mine. I'm holding myself accountable for them, and you too should hold me to that, even if AI was involved in the process." That's all fine, and everyone's writing process is different. I can't really use AI for writing because what I write is usually a transcription of the voice in my head, which AI can't capture. I'm a first-draft writer, even for formal work. But I use it enthusiastically for things I have to deliberately construct, like software. And when reading other people's writing, I guess I'm also looking for that voice (someone else's voice, not mine) that I can hear in my head. It doesn't matter to me how the voice was produced, so long as it's there, and is making sense.
