In an age where technological advancements are reshaping the way we live and work, it's not uncommon to encounter skepticism and accusations when harnessing the potential of AI tools. Recently, I found myself at the center of such allegations, being called a fraud and accused of plagiarism for utilizing AI assistance in my creative endeavors. Today, I want to shed light on how my creative process works, explain the role of AI and human collaborators in my work, and address the accusations of fraud and plagiarism.
First and foremost, let's clarify what fraud and plagiarism entail. Fraud typically involves intentionally deceiving others for personal gain, often involving misrepresentation or dishonesty. Plagiarism, on the other hand, refers to the act of copying someone else's work, ideas, or intellectual property without proper attribution. It is essential to emphasize that neither of these definitions accurately describes the work I do or the assistance I receive.
I am a firm believer that innovation and creativity often thrive in collaboration. Many of my projects, including patents (Wayne Sokal is an inventor who has been awarded a US Patent (5953504) for developing and patenting Internet technology in 1999) and software development, have been brought to fruition with the help of other individuals. While I may not possess the technical skills to develop software or understand every intricate detail, my role lies in conceptualizing, managing resources, and steering the ship towards its destination. The captain of the ship may not be responsible for every task, but the vision and direction are undeniably theirs.
In the world of publishing, editors play a crucial role in refining and improving content. They are not the authors but rather the guides who help craft a more polished and coherent narrative. When someone assists in editing my work, it does not constitute plagiarism, especially when I have granted them the right to do so. Collaboration and editing are integral parts of the creative process, not acts of deception.
The use of AI tools, such as Google, Bing, Alexa, Siri, and more, to aid in research and content creation is a testament to our evolving digital landscape. These tools help gather information, piece together findings, and streamline the creative process. They are valuable assistants that facilitate efficiency, but they do not replace the creative spark and intention behind the work. Just as using Photoshop to edit a photo does not constitute fraud, employing AI to assist in the creative process is a legitimate and innovative approach.
My primary goal has always been to recreate my life experiences and stories in a way that resonates with a broader audience. These experiences are deeply personal to me, and conveying them effectively often requires collaboration and the use of AI tools to enhance their presentation. Keeping my content positive, creative, and authentic is of paramount importance to me.
Many of the ideas I have pursued throughout my life have come to fruition through a combination of my vision, the efforts of others, and my resources. This collaborative approach does not diminish the fact that these ideas are fundamentally mine. It is not fraud; it is innovation in action.
As we navigate the digital age, we must embrace the synergy between humans and machines. When we use a translator to communicate in a foreign language or leverage AI tools to assist us in our creative endeavors, we are not committing fraud. Instead, we are harnessing the power of technology to enhance our capabilities and express ourselves more effectively.
Accusations of fraud and plagiarism against those who leverage AI tools and collaborate with others are unjust and misguided. The digital age has ushered in new opportunities for creativity, innovation, and collaboration. The input we provide to machines, whether in the form of data or creative ideas, is essential to the output they produce. Let us not lose sight of the line that separates genuine creativity from deceit. I, for one, stand firmly in the realm of authentic expression and innovation, not as a fraud but as a proponent of the incredible potential that lies in human-machine collaboration.
The 'AI' detection tools may well be imperfect. Any accusations of fraud need to be backed up with proof. Given that the AI text generators are trained on human-created texts they may be hard to tell from the real thing. I see you had a few warnings. I don't think such accusations justify downvotes on all posts. I wonder if someone thinks you are posting too often to be coming up with original content yourself. HW need to be transparent in their methods.
I agree, AI detection tools are in no means perfect. And accusations of fraud should indeed be taken seriously, but they should also be accompanied by robust proof to ensure fairness and accuracy in assessing the situation. I may have been posting too frequent when I got back to this format, primarily a bit on the excited side to see an engine that superseded Steemit, now I am at one to two posts a day, a personal goal is one to release some of my ideas and share what I feel is helpful information in a technology era. I appreciate HW's service to this platform although reading through their content they should use some tools to spell check before outputting onto the platform :) my opinion...
I think that if you add a line to say what tools you used then it is up to others to judge the value of the content. Of course the auto-voters won't care.
I tend not to post more than once per day on average. I just don't have enough ideas for more and I want each post to have some value.
Yes I tend to agree with you about a disclaimer revealing tools and assistance if any, that will be next on my list to add to my content. I appreciate your support throughout our time on Steemit and Hive, you're awesome!
I support the stuff I like :) I've had issues with HW driving people away. There are some dodgy accounts here, but some just slip up.
All societies require policing to keep bad actors in check.
Well written! And a big FU to the aipolice!
Thank you! It's always technology that leads and the governance takes a long time to catch up, in the interim a lot of quality content leaves the channel
