AI Ethics—Human vs Machine in Writing 

A peep into the Human’s writing

When we as humans come into this world, our brains are empty. Nothing is being fed into it. Only as we grow, observe others, and experience life, our brain develop as we develop in life. God has given all of us our brains as an asset, which has to be utilized in a productive way. We hence own our opinions, thoughts, and experiences, which solely define us as a brand, or we position ourselves in our niche. 

Few experiences can be common to few people, like school days, college days, the first day at the office, the first travel, a memorable day at the office, etc. My experience in the world of writing has taught me that we have to write keeping the readers’ interest in mind in today’s fast-paced world to be unique from others. Most of us tend to share our personal experiences. But what we have to consider is whether those personal experiences are going to be meaningful for readers. Will they like it? Will they connect with what I write? This is known as adding value to writing. When we write not just sake of it, but write to add value, create an impact, or influence someone to take some positive action or make that difference in someone else’s life. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry who reads our writing always looks for what’s in it for me. What is my learning from the writing piece? Is it going to bring me peace or make my life into pieces? 

Though few topics can be the same, like school days, childhood days, etc., our experiences will vary from person to person, and that is what makes human writing unique. Anyone and everyone can write. But how many can connect to the world with our words matters. Watching a movie can fascinate us. 

Writing our story should inspire the world or, in a way, should solve others’ problems. It’s a manual intervention for spellcheck, etc.

Human-based writing will have clarity on authorship, originality, and uniqueness in content, as he/she is the sole owner. 

All eyes on AI 

AI or machine-generated content creates doubts and queries as to who created the content. AI, a company, or no one, and we are unsure of a legal author. There are chances of plagiarism, lack of clarity in content, and relatability issues. There are chances of fake-based writing. As everyone is keeping an eye on AI, it is very easy to just Ctrl+C (copy) and Ctrl+V (paste), which the whole world does in masses. That being the case, the content loses its original class and standard with no objectification and personification. 

As people have become so dependent on anything and everything with just one click of a button, it lacks creativity, uniqueness, human experiences, and intelligence. There are an endless number of writing tools in the market which has come up with all its own pros and cons. Writing tools available in the market can be used as an aid in writing, but we cannot be dependent on them completely.

As most content lacks originality, it lacks readership and viewership. AI can help us to spot errors but at times, there are chances that it may not be authentic and legal too. Ultimately, even if everyone is doing it, wrong is never right. The question always arises as to how many of us follow AI ethics in writing and even if we follow understanding and tackling AI-related ethical and moral issues is still in its early stages. 

They are a set of guiding principles that stakeholders use to ensure AI is being developed and used responsibly for a safe, secure, humane, and environmentally friendly approach to it. 

It can always be considered as a supplement rather than a replacement. 

Whatsoever and however much ultra-modern technology develops, no machine can be as intelligent as a human’s brain, which unfortunately, we as humans now lack its understanding. By the time we understand, it should not be too late. It is we who have produced these machines, computers, AI, other technologies, etc. We should ensure a safe and friendly future where we have a control over the technology and not the other way around.
