In our last post Adam Riley and I published the latest in a series examining contemporary or near contemporary Polymaths – in that case Jacob Bronowski.
In this week’s post we discuss authorship, originality, collaboration and the role that AI played in creating that Bronowski post and ask the question ‘ who should get the credit’?
Whilst ChatGPT (in this instance) is an immensely powerful tool, it is one that requires direction, judgment, and knowledge to produce something meaningful. The result is not purely the product of machine intelligence, nor purely of human effort, but a synthesis of both—a modern testament to the power of interdisciplinary collaboration that we hope Bronowski himself would likely have admired.
