The Impact of AI Writing on Communication

1. Introduction

The preceding statement encapsulates the goal of automated content generation: to provide content that is authentic to that of a human or indistinguishable from those produced by other humans. This goal brings us to the most current form of content generation by machine learning and AI techniques: the automation of writing articles or essays. It is clear that this has many potential applications. The idea of using computer systems to mass-produce articles in a short period of time with close to no cost is an economically attractive prospect. Software could be used to generate information for specific readers or to aid those who are not proficient in the language of interest.

The idea that a computer system can generate human language and communication is not a new concept. Chatbots have been around for quite some time and, for the most part, successfully communicate with the humans who use them. In the past few years, with the increasing complexity of web searches and the understanding of human language, produced results have shown much improvement, and software has “learned” (i.e., using statistical models) how to generate content that is more authentic and more human. This finding suggests that in some instances, users cannot differentiate between human-generated content and machine-generated content.

2. Advantages of AI Writing

It is not a typing mistake. Machine translation and the generation of foreign language text have always been problematic in expressing the correct meaning and producing grammatically correct sentences. This doesn’t only apply to translating text from one language to another, but also the generation of code or text in the same language without the expression of intended or unintended meaning of the source. AI techniques can certainly help in solving this problem by generating accurate content from data with meaning or correct grammar. For example, there are lots of machine translators available on the net.

2.3 It’s as it is 😉

A lot of tasks, starting from generating an email, writing code or technical documents, or even drafting conversational dialogues, have certain elements of data that are already available and need to be used or modified into new textual content. This can be intelligently handled by AI techniques using pattern recognition algorithms to identify and extract specific details of data from existing content, use this collected information to modify or create new content, and then store the end result of the content into a database for future use. For example, the creation of code requiring certain functionality, which can be written using programming languages of AI and then used directly, or planning dialogues for intelligent NPC characters in a game.

2.2 Handling repetitive tasks and generating output

Organizations and scholarly scientists have a large amount of raw data in the form of numbers, symbols, and letters that need to be generalized and converted into documents, reports, reviews, white papers, and useful information that makes sense even for a common man. Natural language processing algorithms of AI provide them with efficient and accurate methods to convert this data efficiently and effectively into concise and understandable textual information. This text generation can be done in the form of automatic documentation, text-to-speech processing, generation of summaries in compressed form, translation from one language to another, and question answering, which uses complex AI techniques to interpret, generate, and answer a question.

2.1 Handle data

3. Disadvantages of AI Writing

Another major issue with AI writing is that it simply cannot think. That’s right, folks, AI writing lacks a mind, conscience, and consciousness. It is simply a data program made to replicate human-like writing. The implications of this are deep. This means that AI writing is unable to create an original idea or learn from its mistakes. Everything it does is what it is programmed to do. This can be an issue since not all writing is the same, and different situations may require different styles of writing. AI will not understand this. In addition, this means that critical thinking or problem-solving pieces of writing are not possible with AI writing. AI simply does what it’s programmed to do and nothing more.

As we all know, AI is a form of technology and, as such, it is prone to errors and malfunctions. AI writing, in itself, is a program, and much like an application or software, it too could crash or suddenly stop working. Think of the many times you began an assignment on a computer or laptop, and an unexpected error within the device occurs, and you lose everything you have done. This is no different for AI writing; it too can lose data. This could be critical information that is unrecoverable, and this can create many issues, especially if the data is unable to be reproduced.

4. Ethical Considerations

It is also important to consider the potential uses of AI writing in deception. While text generated by current AI programs usually holds a distinctive stilted quality which makes it easy to identify, it is reasonable to assume that this will not always be the case. The profitability of using AI writing to generate positive, albeit disingenuous, reviews and testimonials is likely to drive the advancement of writer AI. At a higher level, it has been suggested that governments might use AI writing to generate volumes of truthful, but misleading documents to sway public opinion on an international scale. These ventures into persuasive AI writing pose a clear threat to the trust in written information.

To date, academia has shown little concern for the potential ramifications of AI writer programs. It’s worth keeping in mind how AI writing may exacerbate problems of information overload and attention dilution. If AI writing continues to improve, we’ll likely see the web flooded with more low-cost, low-quality information, making it harder than ever to attract and keep the attention of someone you’re trying to reach. Simultaneously, the existence of AI writers will itself be an advert for increased automation, leading to further job losses for human writers. This will be especially acute in the developing world, where rates for human writing are approaching the level of wages for manual labor.

5. Conclusion

There is hope, however, that AI writing can be a positive tool to enhance human communication. As was shown with the interactive storytelling program, AI has the potential to create powerful and emotionally relevant stories that can be used to inform people about important issues and events. Additionally, the possible relation and integration of AI writing programs with written second language programs brings a powerful potential tool to aid language learning and translation. Finally, if AI writing programs can be taught a bit of modesty, they may become useful tools for editing and enhancing a human-written document.

The most pertinent example here is the possibility of AI sports articles discussed in the background section of this essay. If these programs can write faster and more statistically informed articles than humans, it is very likely that sports writing and analysis will eventually turn largely to AI programs. Sports articles are only the beginning, given the rapid disappearance of print news media, it is possible and perhaps likely that AI news writing will become widespread in the not too distant future. The potential of a world with AI writing all the news is actually quite frightening, as when news articles are being written based on what AI programs believe the public wants to read, it may be difficult to obtain unbiased information and different perspectives on current issues.

Since writing essays on an article for a blog about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) writing on communication, I have grown a better understanding of the capabilities of AI writing and the potential future impact on the way humans communicate. It appears that AI writing is a very powerful tool with the likely possibility of becoming even more powerful. The speed of AI writing and its capabilities for data collection and analysis, all without a coffee break, means that it may become the preferred form of writing for many individuals and organizations.
