How about owning a typewriter that types on its own?

That makes the typewriter the actual writer and you the credit-taker, just like in present ghostwriting arrangements

> the credit-taker

Isn’t this what society already largely rewards? See the personality cults around CEOs and not even founders.

Nevertheless, those books aren't sold for the writing style, but because they're about the cult leader. So not the "writer" is prized (ghost or not) but the personality.

Still doesn't make you a writer.

May I ask how you became credentialed in gatekeeping? Did you study gatekeeping in school, obtain a gatekeeping degree and pass the gatekeeping professional associations exam?

No? Then you are not qualified to say that other people are not qualified!

Do you see the absurdity of your position now?

If someone or something does the writing for you, you are, by definition, not a writer.

But this is an unrealistic view of how AI works. You don't say "make this" and get a finished product. It is very much a back and forth process, very much like a boss to their employee. And I imagine most people have experienced presentations where your boss claims credit (ideally mentioning you at some point) for the result.

Then you can call yourself "editor", if you want to even "editor in chief". But you're still not the writer.
