Writing, viewed as an individual form of production, has continuously adapted to the discursive structure of new situations within each technological advancement and the conditions these technologies bring. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools (Chat-Gpt, MidJourney, Gemini, and dozens more whose names we do not know), which have rapidly developed and become widespread in the modern world, especially in recent years, have begun to be used very widely in content production. This situation has necessitated a rethinking of the debates on writing, creativity, and meaning. Production (textual products, visual design outputs, scripts, stories, videos, translations, etc.) has taken on a form that is almost indistinguishable when considering human and machine comparisons in this new era. Unlimited access to large databases and the ability of language models to develop in a multifunctional and organic way can be said to attract people to these new tools while also leading to some dystopian thoughts. It would not be wrong to say that one of the closest counterparts of these two situations is the phenomenon of authorship. Indeed, the forms and boundaries of authorship are being redesigned from technical, ethical, and theoretical perspectives. This redesign has brought into question not only production processes but also theoretical assumptions about who produces meaning, for what purposes, and with what kinds of tools. This assessment focuses on how content production using artificial intelligence systems in the digital age has transformed authorship. Based on the view that authorship is not only a form of individual expression but also has a discursive, social, and ideological mission, it should be discussed how artificial intelligence technologies affect this multidimensional phenomenon (authorship). Based on Roland Barthes' theoretical approach of “The Death of the Author,” a contemporary assessment of authorship will be made in the context of Michel Foucault's conceptualization of the “author function” and Terry Eagleton's critique of ideology. This study discusses the questions, “Do artificial intelligence technologies render the author invisible?” and “Do they reposition the reader within an algorithmic order?” In this context, a literature review re-examines the relationship between authorship and meaning in the digital age and draws attention to the power structures behind authorless texts in the age of artificial intelligence. The original contribution of this study is that it reopens the discussion of the concept of “authorless writing” in the context of artificial intelligence technologies. Although content generated by artificial intelligence superficially suggests the absence of an author, it is argued that the discursive and ideological processes behind these production methods need to be analyzed. Against this backdrop, critically examining the positions of the author and reader in texts produced by artificial intelligence constitutes the theoretical and conceptual aim of this study.
