Opinion
James Madison may have personally written the Federalist Papers, but do we really think all speeches and op-eds are written by the names associated with them? The complaints from critics in the Aug. 25 online news article “Wall Street Journal defends billionaire’s use of AI to write op-ed” are much ado about nothing.
TL;DR
- The controversy over a billionaire using AI for an op-ed is considered much ado about nothing.
- Historical examples, such as James Madison writing the Federalist Papers, suggest that authorship of public statements has often been complex.
- The author implies that the practice of not solely relying on the named author for content is not new.
