Famous Mouloud Benzadi Quotes

“Literary award judges have the power to select a prize winner, granting them fame and potentially turning their book into a bestseller. However, determining the best book of the year remains a subjective endeavor. It is not surprising, then, that different panels consistently choose different winners from the same pool of submissions.”

“To understand subjectivity in literary awards, think of these competitions as social media platforms and judging panels as their users. A book you submit to a literary award competition is like a post you share on social media—some praise its ideas, others reject them; some find it inspiring, others provoking; tragic to some, laughable to the rest.”

“Give AI the right to perform any task that a human editor normally performs” in the realm of writing. These include drafting, proofreading, rephrasing, suggesting improvements in clarity or tone, identifying inconsistencies, proposing titles, summarizing content, and recommending structural edits. All of these are traditional editorial tasks, and there is no reason AI should be excluded from doing the same.”

“To excuse one for human assistance yet condemn another for AI assistance is a serious mistake the literary world is making — one that future generations will not forgive. AI will, without doubt, be recognized as a legitimate part of the creative process. And when that time comes, those future generations will look back and measure the damage caused by today’s double standards — the barriers that silenced authentic voices and denied deserving writers recognition and opportunity simply for using technology to express their feelings, share their visions, and communicate their experiences with the world.”

“If human hands are permitted to reshape, rewrite, and even transform the tone and style of a work while preserving the author’s name, then the use of AI should be seen in the same light. There is no meaningful difference between AI rewriting a book and a relative or a human editor doing so—what matters is that the ideas and vision remain rooted in the author’s mind.”
