Writerly Voice in AI Times Online

Facilitators:  

Cydney Alexis, Associate Professor and Theresa Merrick, Assistant Director of the Writing Center, Outreach Coordinator, Department of English, College of Arts & Sciences, Kansas State University 

Description: 

In this presentation, we discuss how writer voice, style, and identity might be re-conceptualized in AI times. What we hold in high regard about voice and individuality is value-laden and often disciplinary; one person might not see the encroachment of AI on the writing process as limiting, but rather an expansion of potential, while another might be concerned about AI’s effects on privacy and human creativity. Ideas about voice and identity will develop with AI’s rapid advancements, permanently altering the way people understand writerly voice and style, and with this will come losses and gains.   

We explore these topics through a generative discussion, presentation of qualitative data, and a sandbox session in which we interact with a few emergent AI tools.
