Artificial intelligence challenges the human authorship of texts
Currently, artificial intelligence has become a highly useful tool for text production in various fields, ranging from literature to journalism or science. However, its use has sparked a debate about the human authorship of texts.
One of the most questioned aspects is the originality of texts generated by artificial intelligence. Machines are capable of automatically generating texts based on
a set of predefined data and patterns. This has led to the question of whether a text produced by
a machine can be considered an original work.
In this regard, some critics argue that the use of artificial intelligence for text production can lead to the loss of the uniqueness and creativity that characterizes human production. They also maintain that the emotional connection established between the author and the reader is lost if the text is generated by a machine.
On the other hand, there are those who defend the use of artificial intelligence in text production, arguing that the quality and content of the text are more important than its human authorship. In fact, machines are capable of processing large amounts of data and generating more precise and effective texts in terms of time and resources.
An example of this discussion occurred recently in the world of literature when a novel titled "The Dreamer" was published in 2020, attributed to the Spanish writer Juan Carlos Gómez. However, it was later discovered that the true author of the novel was an artificial intelligence created by a team of programmers.
The news generated a great stir in the literary world and led to a reconsideration of the importance of human authorship in literature. Many critics argued that the novel could not be considered an original work since it had been produced by a machine and not by a human with intentions, emotions, and thoughts of their own.
However, other defenders of artificial intelligence argued that the novel was a quality work and that its content was what mattered, regardless of who had written it. They also highlighted that the artificial intelligence had been programmed by human beings, thus there was still a certain degree of human authorship behind the novel.
In conclusion, the debate about the human authorship of texts generated by artificial intelligence is far from being resolved. As technology advances, it is likely that increasingly complex and sophisticated texts will continue to be produced, posing new challenges in defining their authorship. What is clear is that artificial intelligence is here to stay and its impact on the world of literature and other fields will continue to be a subject of controversy and debate.
