Why AI won’t make you a better writer

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More The literary world is rife with constant controversy, from the Bad Art Friend to the BookForum comeuppance of long-lauded critic Lauren Oyler. A recent point of contention, however, is no interpersonal drama or nitpicky review. Rather, it’s a Zendesk article from the minds behind NaNoWrimo — National Novel Writing Month — stating that the organization will permit AI usage as part of the event this year (and presumably for all future years).

Unfair decisions by AI could make us indifferent to bad behaviour by humans

Unfair decisions by AI could make us indifferent to bad behaviour by humans

Artificial intelligence (AI) makes important decisions that affect our everyday lives. These decisions are implemented by firms and institutions in the name of efficiency. They can help determine who gets into college, who lands a job, who receives medical treatment and who qualifies for government assistance.

For example, in college admissions or hiring, these automated decisions can unintentionally favour certain groups of people or those with certain backgrounds, while equally qualified but underrepresented applicants get overlooked.…
