Ai

“AI” on my view is already and will certainly be a massive disruption to software in the coming years. Furthermore, we have an unprecedented wave coming that’s only just now beginning to break. Yet the biggest unknown, as I see it, is how the software community will respond, and that will be more due to social factors than purely technical. This is very much as it should be, however our very human frailties and limitations will inevitably drive how this unfolds.

How much AI use is acceptable for writing? It’s a hard question because it depends greatly on context, the reader’s expectations, and the fact that it’s difficult to usefully measure “how much”. How we address this matters for several reasons, including but not limited to: creator’s responsibility and originality, honest disclosure about research effort and sources, respecting the broad spectrum of opinion about ethical use of AI.
