ChaGPT: hyperauthor or non author?

Abstract

In this article, I bring a discussion about the status of the author, how we can understand it in the different discursive forms - in the forms of orality and writing - and in the form of writing-orality, the one forged in digital materiality. To do so, we will explore the notion of authorship as a discursive effect and, in its subjective dimension, as a function of every subject. Finally, I make an approximation between authorship and automatic text production, as we have seen in artificial intelligences, particularly in ChatGPT. This discussion gives rise to some other reflections, such as the issue of hyperauthor in the School, which I leave, at the end, as an invitation to future conversations.
