General

  • “Generative AI vs. Traditional AI” | GeeksforGeeks: “The focus of traditional AI has been to understand how certain tasks are done and then do the same but with the assistance of tools…Generative AI on the other hand aims to aid in the creation process itself, whether it may be text, images, audio or even videos.”

Biases

  • “ASAN Says No Generative AI in Plain Language” | Autistic Self Advocacy Network: “As an experiment, staff at ASAN took things we had written and asked a generative AI to lower the reading level. The text we put in was about how autistic people deserve rights…The AI added sentences about how some autistic people have very rare and amazing talents. This is not something that ASAN would say. We believe autistic people deserve rights even if we don’t have amazing talents.”

Disclosure + Transparency

  • “AI Guidelines for Ghostwriting” | Gotham Ghostwriters: “Writers cannot comply with a directive like ‘Do not use AI at all,’ because essential tools including grammar checkers and web searches incorporate AI. Writers and their clients should precisely document which categories of AI use are part of their work.”
  • “Why AI Disclosure Matters at Every Level” | Knowledge at Wharton: “When AI use is systematically undisclosed, we risk creating a world where people can’t distinguish human from machine output, where trust becomes impossible, and where the value of human contribution is fundamentally questioned.”
