AI writing? Same rules as for writing
Been reading/hearing a lot lately on AI-generated content esp the CNET articles.

The consensus seems to be that there needs to be full disclosure it was AI-written.
I don’t agree. AI-writing should be judged by the same standards that any writing is. Is it factual? well written? non-plagiarized? etc.
There’s a lot that goes into non-AI writing that is never disclosed. All kinds of editing, collaboration, etc. And never mind ghost writing.
