Who Is the Author, After All?
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article reflects on the evolving nature of authorship in the age of generative artificial intelligence. Through a fictional yet realistic scenario, it explores ethical, editorial, and spiritual dimensions of what it means to be a human author in a digitally-assisted world. The text argues that true authorship is not defined by the absence of tools but by the presence of purpose, discernment, and responsibility. Using illustrative insights from a real-life writing experience, the author affirms that AI, when used ethically, can serve as a valuable tool—never a substitute—for conscious, inspired, and accountable human creation. This is a call to embrace hybrid authorship with wisdom and integrity.
