Seminar: Authorial credit and trust in LLMs: artifice or estrangement?

In this talk, Ivar will present ongoing work examining human interactions with LLMs in the domains of informational content creation, artistic production, and moral counseling. How do interactions with LLMs influence credit for co-created outputs? And why do humans deposit or withdraw trust in LLMs? Ivar will tackle these questions with two hypotheses in mind: (i) the artifice hypothesis, according to which the artificial architecture of LLMs inflexibly undermines credit and trust, and (ii) the estrangement hypothesis, according to which barriers to credit and trust can be surmounted by personalization/appropriation.
