인공지능의 확산과 글쓰기 노동

초록

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly Large Language Models ( LLMs), is poised to bring about profound societal changes. Despite the risks associated with AI, such as the production of inaccurate information, labor market shifts, and the potential for AI to escape human control, ongoing regulatory efforts may not sufficiently curb its pervasive spread. The US federal government, in collaboration with key figures in the AI industry, has focused on the long- term risks of AI, without intending to stifle the industry’ s growth. AI’ s potential to automate aspects of writing implies that its inevitable introduction into educational settings will have immediate impacts on composition courses. Instances of students using AI tools like ChatGPT to write and submit assignments have been reported. Despite these concerns, universities are positioned to adapt to the changing environment and explore the potential benefits of AI in education. The relevance of AI writing technologies in language classes could be likened to the relevance of calculators in math classes 50 years ago, assisting humans with laborious aspects of writing. As Ted Underwood argues, AI demonstrates that writing takes place in “ a multi- dimensional space in which a variety of writings, none of them original, blend and clash.” Over 50 years after Barthes’ s “The Death of the Author,” we are confronted with “Death of an Author,” a work largely written by AI. Shakespeare’ s work conveys the notion of artiginality, or ‘the workly character of the work,’ and after LLMs, it is compelling to understand artiginality in all forms of writings.
