Authority
Is ChatGPT usurping the authority of the "Author"? Or is it just a pretender to the throne?
We're opening up the question of "authority" to extend well beyond the usual suspects of kings, generals, or politicians. To borrow a line from Tennyson's poetry: “authority forgets the dying King.” That is, power begins to slip from the grasp of political authorities as they weaken, as respect for and obedience to them wanes.
Now almost 60 years after Foucault announced the “death of the author,” we might actually be living through what he imagined.
