People are using AI to communicate without disclosing it. Is this morally wrong?

The article explores the ethical implications of using generative AI without disclosing its involvement.
It provides two scenarios: one where AI is used to tidy meeting notes and another where AI creates a eulogy at a funeral.
The use of AI in both cases is deceptive but raises questions about morality when undisclosed.
Philosopher John Danaher’s framework helps describe different types of deception: “external state” deception, “superficial state” deception, and “hidden state” deception.
The article discusses that while “external state” deception in trivial scenarios may be permissible, it becomes more problematic in non-trivial cases like the eulogy example.
The morally questionable element of AI use without disclosure lies in depriving others of accurate information about the source and nature of the output.
The article concludes with ethical guidelines for generative AI use, recommending disclosure in non-trivial cases to allow others to form more accurate beliefs.
