dc.description.abstract
Recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have led to the release of highly sophisticated large language models (LLMs), such as Deepseek or GPT-4, that have allowed humanity the possibility to create an almost infinite number of intelligible texts generally indistinguishable from those created by humans themselves (Baron, 2023). Beyond the debates about their impact on efficiency and efficacy, or truthfulness, plagiarism (Cotton, Cotton & Shipway, 2024), and hallucinations (Alkaissi & McFarlane, 2023), one of the fundamental aspects of AI is that it imposes an order based on the statistical patterns embedded in its neural networks. AI, therefore, has the capacity to shape realities and discourses like no previous technology before, impacting on the way we write, teach, or perform research, as well as redefining how we understand critical concepts historically associated with human beings, such as originality and creativity.
