Artificial intelligence should not be used in any form of writing and especially in critical writing because nobody wants to be written about by a machine. At Titan Contemporary Publishing, we had unfortunate incidents where a couple of our writers had submitted writing produced by artificial intelligence. As a result, these individuals were fired and partnerships were terminated. Their essays have been deleted from our books and online platforms. We intend to never allow writing created or enhanced by artificial intelligence ever again into our publication. Because of these specific incidents regarding the dishonest writers, we have grown to become almost experts in detecting artificial intelligence in writing. The reader should note there is no excuse for submitting writing concealed with A.I.-infused input. Every professional writer knows they are not supposed to use artificial intelligence in their writing, and if they do, they have to disclose up front they are doing so. You should note, the writing by Titan Contemporary Publishing is 100% human-created content as we have zero tolerance for the use of artificial intelligence in our publication.
Here are a few hints how you can suspect artificial intelligence may have been used in writing. First of all, artificial intelligence loves to use dashes in their texts. If you notice an article sprinkled with dashes across the texts instead of comas, the writing could have been generated by artificial intelligence. Other hints you will find a writer may have used artificial intelligence would be if the article has titles for paragraphs and the paragraphs are consistently short. For some reason, the A.I. typically doesn’t like to write long paragraphs. If the essay you are reading only contains a few human observations and the rest of the text is filler, the handful of human examinations could be command prompts or a small body of text fed to the artificial intelligence.
We want to assure our audience, we use vigorous methods of scrutiny to make sure any potential writing submitted to us is 100% human-generated content. As a result, we officially don’t even allow programs such as Grammarly to be used in any of our writing. Grammarly is artificial intelligence which restructures a writer’s sentences for them. Just because some academics and universities promote the use of Grammarly doesn’t mean using such a program is ethical or competent. As far as we are concerned as a publisher, using anything other than a thesaurus and spell check in writing is cheating.
In terms of critical writing in regard to visual art, there is no way a writer can thoroughly interpret works of art by making a few observations and feeding such command prompts into a machine to create false texts. Anyone who is a genuine critical writer knows the process of analyzing art in writing creates a deep connection to the art, whether the writer likes the art or not, because we break down the visual substance into analogies and descriptions which requires real imagination and genuine interpretation. There are a few contemporary art publishers we strongly suspect may be using artificial intelligence to produce or enhance their published content. If they are indeed using A.I. to produce texts, you should know there is no excuse for such behavior because concealing using A.I. in writing amounts to a deed worse than plagiarism, because even plagiarism is copying off human content. Using artificial intelligence and not disclosing up front a person is doing so amounts to a literal scam and perhaps even fraud, especially if payment was involved.
