Getting #AIauthorship right is harder than one would think.
I just posted an analysis on AI authorship over at #SentientSyllabus:
https://sentientsyllabus.substack.com/p/silicone-coauthors
Key takeaways include: that arguments based on our usual criteria of /contribution/ and /accountability/ are brittle; that the problem lies with authorship being a vague term (cf. sorites paradox); that we are using posterior reasoning to justify our intuitions; and that reliable intuitions about the actual nature of the emergent(!) source-AI-author system need more work. A practical policy proposal rounds it off: empower the authors, use meaningful acknowledgements, quantify contributions.
