# On Artificial and Post-Artificial Texts  ## Metadata - Author: [[hannesbajohr.de]] - Full Title: On Artificial and Post-Artificial Texts - Category: #articles - Summary: insert summary - My notes: - Summary: AI-generated text is becoming widespread and will change how we read. People will stop assuming unknown texts are written by humans and start doubting their origin. Eventually the line between human and machine writing may blur so much that the distinction no longer matters. - Source File: Artificial and Post-Artificial Texts On Machine Learning and.pdf - URL: https://hannesbajohr.de/en/2023/03/11/on-artificial-and-post-artificial-texts/ ## LLM Chats ## NotebookLM ## LLM Audio ## Highlights > Various think pieces were quick to speculate that such language models will one day replace human authors; for various reasons, I doubt that.[26](https://hannesbajohr.de/en/2023/03/11/on-artificial-and-post-artificial-texts/#easy-footnote-bottom-26-111) But AI’s transformation of literature need not be so extreme for our *perception of* text to change fundamentally. Technologies like these have already taken on assistive functions—not doing all the writing work, but helping to produce much more text much more quickly, and with the help of fewer and fewer people. Certain types of writing are becoming at least *partially* automated.[[27]](https://hannesbajohr.de/en/2023/03/11/on-artificial-and-post-artificial-texts/#_ftn27) ([View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01k92rjrb6jv6qbne11bjkqws0)) > Turing rejected this question as wrongly posed—intelligence as an intrinsic quality could not be reliably measured. In good behaviorist fashion, he therefore replaced the question with another: If we assume that intelligence is a property of humans, then all we need to find out is when a human would consider the computer to be human and thus intelligent.
