What happens when a machine can write as well as an academic? University Affairs

Recently one morning, I asked my computer a relatively simple question: can artificial intelligence (AI) write? We're not too certain on what artificial intelligence will be able to write, but there are some scenarios in which computers could be responsible for a huge number of word documents … The biggest potential scenarios would involve machines analyzing what has already been written and determining what pieces need to be edited to make the content seem fresh. The above sentences were composed by a machine in a matter of seconds. The tool used is a freely accessible interface based on the GPT-2 text generator released by OpenAI – a company founded by technology industry leaders, including Elon Musk and Sam Altman. Only a limited version of the tool was made available, as it was dubbed "too dangerous" by the company to release fully into the world.
