Red Lines: ChatGPT vs. ChatGPS

Filed under: General — Tags: , , — m759 @ 8:48 am

"Recently, several leading academic journals and publishers
updated their submission guidelines to explicitly ban researchers
from listing ChatGPT as a co-author, or using text copied from a
ChatGPT response. Some professors have criticized these bans
as shortsightedly resistant to an inevitable technological change.
We shouldn’t be surprised at the disagreement. This is a new
ethical space that only roughly follows the outlines of our existing
agreements on plagiarism, authorship criteria, and fraud.
Precisely where to draw red lines is not clear."

— The Courtauld Gallery on Gaugin's "Nevermore" (1897)

"After decades abroad, Mr Doig has returned again to London.
On February 10th he opens a new exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery ….
The Courtauld is also the home of Britain’s finest Impressionist collection,
and some of the paintings in the new show recall and respond to those works.
A depiction of an alpinist by Mr Doig speaks to Paul Cézanne’s view of
Lake Annecy, a tropical bather . . . gestures at Paul Gauguin’s nude
'Nevermore'."
