>I mean, even ghost writers arent making the world a better place

I think people should be allowed to put their name on anything, be that hired work or AI generated. It’s only their own credibility and good name at stake.

Sure, but I disagree when you’re selling that thing.

In a large society trust is necessary because you can’t know everyone. So I think it’s reasonable that at least if you’re selling something you can’t lie about it, including whether you wrote it or not.

And yes, I’m aware ghost writing is a long established practice and I think it’s always been deceitful.
