Brandnew to the channel. Honestly, it's whatever. I'm would assume in the case of the disabled person. While they can't write themselves. They would potentially be more involved in the creation process. So, whomever is penning the words is irrelevant. In the blog scenario, like you said, I don't care who actually wrote it. Regarding AI, I follow a channel that does AI short stories. They are up front about this and have said they feed the idea to AI. Then, edit and fix the story. To what extent I don't know. But, because they're up front with their processes, I don't worry too much about it. Point is this, as you mentioned, if the reason you utilize ghost writing through another person or AI and take credit for their work. You may want to self-reflect why that course of action is so important to you and why you're comfortable taking credit for other people work. I'd have far greater respect for someone who clearly stated they had someone write their biography. Then, falsely stated it was an autobiography.
Wow. I don't hear of many people owning up to using AI. That's a start, for sure. At least readers know what they're looking at, you know? That was my reaction when I learned that a lot of entrepreneurs don't write their books -- like, why not just SAY that? If it was good information, I don't know that I would care. But instead, finding out after the fact that they lied, that was a huge turn-off.
If someone asks you to write a book for them and (hopefully) pays for the privilege, then yes it is ethical. If you write a book and use someone else's name to sell it without their permission...that's bad...that's very very bad. I've never ghost-written for anyone...I didn't have the spirit for it.
Very Insightful
Great video!
Thank you!

Omg, using someone's name without their permission!?!?!?! Yikes. Are there people who do that? Probably. Not ok.
