Ethical AI and LLM Usage For Bloggers

Louis Davidson

For some of us, writing blogs comes at least reasonably naturally. There are lots of technical bloggers with natural writing skills, but for others of us, it takes a lot of time and a lot of practice, and assistive software to help us out. If you want to write, but are really new at it, you might be thinking “I should try and let ChatGPT do the some of the hard work for me.” This leads to the question: “how ethical is this?”

The answer is, much like answer technical people use every day is: “It depends.” In this session, the presenters will show you some example uses of LLM products like using it to edit your grammar and wording or letting it write parts of sentences for you, all the way to having it craft a blog from your notes.

For each case, we will try to decode some of the ethical challenges they raise for publishing a blog as your own when you didn’t write all the words yourself. I think we can already agree on the ethical issues of just asking “please write me a paper about a topic,” or can we?
