People, machines and dictionaries: Is artificial intelligence killing dictionaries?
-
Iván Arias-Arias
Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between humans, dictionaries, and computer systems in the context of lexicographic processes. It encompasses actions performed by both dictionary creators and users. Drawing on the latest research regarding the influence of artificial intelligence on lexicographic activities, we present results from new experiments assessing the reliability of AI-generated outputs based on the type of user consulting them. Finally, we examine the current social and cultural value of dictionaries and their impact on society.
