The article raises a philosophical question about the concept of authorship in the age of artificial intelligence. Titled "What is an author in the age of AI? A small exercise," the text presents itself as a brief reflection on the topic.
The article questions the possibility of preserving the claim to authorship when human effort is dispensed with in the act of writing. The reflection suggests that it is difficult to find an argument that can keep the authorship claim intact without the direct involvement of a human being in the creative process.
The text does not identify specific authors, organizations, or concrete events, being essentially an initial philosophical provocation about the impact of artificial intelligence on text production and the traditional definition of who is considered an author.
