@JMaxB Yes; but I could generate text and then copy it with my fountain pen onto my stationery.
Vanderbilt University's adventure with ChatGPT shows that people want heartfelt sentiments to be expressed by humans. But we have PR and advertising firms, which specialize in crafting moving sentiments; would the outrage have been as much if the university's communications department had written up the response? Most likely, they would have a library of clips on hand about responding to all kinds of situations. How is that different? Makes me wonder.
Many people are uncomfortable expressing themselves in writing, and get even more anxious when they want something to be "good" (eloquent or well written or carefully written enough not to provoke a social firestorm). Authorship problems have been with us for a very long time.
Not sure what I think of all this, except that my work break is over.
...And why do I have this sudden desire to watch "Roxanne" again?
