Should AI be credited as co-authors in scripts or books?

as the title says.

for me: it’s more of a middle ground

some creators mention AI in the acknowledgments or treat it like software — useful, but not an author. kind of like saying “written with the help of GPT” rather than giving it a co-author slot

AI isn’t sentient, doesn’t have intent, and doesn’t take responsibility for what it writes. Credit, in this view, should go to the human who guided, edited, and made the final creative calls

yes, why not? if an AI is shaping the creative work in meaningful ways, acknowledging that influence seems fair. we credit ghostwriters and writing teams, so if AI had a substantial hand in the final product, a co-author label could reflect that reality—even if it’s symbolic
