Economist: undisclosed AI use is deception and should be sanctioned
paulnovosad · x · 2026-10-22
Economist Paul Novosad argues that in many contexts undisclosed AI use is deception — authors trying to make readers believe they thought more carefully than they did — and should be sanctioned, though currently mostly isn't. Responding to Barbara Biasi's point about non-native speakers, he agrees views correlate with native language but seeks an equilibrium where AI shirking is discouraged without blocking positive use cases.
