I'm really, really curious why though? I'm not gonna try to dig at you, I just don't understand and want to know.
replyIs your "writing job" one where the end goal is like short random articles on some giant aggregate, or something like instructional content for businesses or something? Where a human typing things was just a means to an end, rather than what I'd assume OP's doing where they're writing for their own joy and/or because people love their specific voice? Because that's the only way my brain can rationalize it right now.
Actually not. I have my real idea, facts, data and all materials that support my point for a passage. I am just doing an experiment to see if I could find the line by myself. Let me ask you a question, imagine you are living in late 19th and early 20th century as a columnist and you have a secretary. You tell her your idea orally everyday and she typed down your words and revised them to be a column. Not only typing and revising, she even double checked the correctness of all references you mentioned and used in your passage as you indicated.
replyHow do you think the ownership of these passages? Created by yourself or both of you? In what degree you would consider the line between you and her efforts?
Great. I have some thoughts and insights go alone this topic and I’m going to write it down to discuss this issue in detail.
Thank you for your initial response.
replyAlso this issue reminds me those women behind the one of the most famous statisticians, the founder of Biometrika, Karl Pearson. AFAIK, he employed a large number of female workers to do those tedious, mechanical and fragmented calculations, which supported his discoveries on statistics. How would you draw the line between his ideas and papers on statistics and those female employees? Would you like to share his honor with those great females?
replyhonestly this explains so much about many blog posts or journalistic articles I read in the last year
replyWhat you mentioned depicts the fact that we faced. That’s absolutely not a good thing. But on the other hand, the situation we face ask for a higher critic ability of a person. I think it could be an improvement of this era.
