Human-AI interaction in text production increases complexity in authorship. In two empirical studies (n1 = 30 & n2 = 96), we investigate authorship and ownership in human-AI collaboration for personalized language generation models. We show an AI Ghostwriter Effect:Users do not consider themselves the owners and authors of AI-generated text but refrain from publicly declaring AI authorship.The degree of personalization did not impact the AI Ghostwriter Effect, and control over the model increased participants' sense of ownership. We also found that the discrepancy between the sense of ownership and the authorship declaration is stronger in interactions with a human ghostwriter and that people use similar rationalizations for authorship in AI ghostwriters and human ghostwriters. We discuss how our findings relate to psychological ownership and human-AI interaction to lay the foundations for adapting authorship frameworks and user interfaces in AI in text-generation tasks.

“…Bobilin and Pagowsky (2011), however, recommend Scott Nicholson's SNAKS model, dividing games into "social...narrative...action...knowledge... [and] strategy" genres (p. 43). Cho, Moulaison-Sandy, and Hubbles (2021) emphasize also that authorship is especially difficult to describe, as well, noting that a simple "Creator" field, even referring to a single corporate body, is insufficient for projects as complex as digital games. Cho, Donovan, and Lee (2018) discuss the difficulty of distilling the visual style of a digital game into metadata terminology.…”

“…"Developer" may refer to the software development company responsible for all the design and code, while "Author" may refer to a specific coder or writer. As Cho et al (2021) lament, the use of these terms is not even standardized in video game credits themselves (p. 5). Most sites specified both "Publisher" and "Developer" separately.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to survey the landscape of online collections of digital games.Design/methodology/approachFirst, the study identifies existing sites hosting collections and criteria that make a collection valuable for research, then it reports on sites that fit the criteria and analyzes trends.FindingsMost sites provide simple binary downloads, but some choose encapsulation. Common metadata terms consistently include genre, year of release and publisher. Most sites claim the right to provide their collections as “abandonware,” but remove games if they are asked to.Research limitations/implicationsThis study was conducted using a very limited subcategory of digital games, which could be expanded in other studies. Future research may require a multilingual team to account for collections based in non–English-speaking countries. Direct communication with sites’ management may be valuable in the future as well, but was not conducted in this study.Practical implicationsThe study identifies practices that have developed organically in this field without any guiding standards. Understanding these may aid in Humanities research into digital games, as well as potential collection development in the future.Social implicationsDigital games are increasingly important as cultural artifacts, and there is a growing effort to preserve them for the future, but there are no standards for collecting and providing them. Understanding how this is currently done can help in providing access into the future for both casual and analytical use.Originality/valueWhile game preservation is a growing and active field of research, no study has been published in recent years on this particular subject. It will be valuable for the development of future collections and for research using current ones.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate public library staff engagement and perceptions of video games and video game services. Design/methodology/approach Quantitative and qualitative data on staff video game experiences, perceptions and confidence were collected through an online questionnaire. Findings The results indicate an overall positive perception of video games in public libraries, with 87% of the respondents supporting video games in public libraries. Video game players appear to think more positively about video games and have more general knowledge about them than non-players. They also appeared to be more confident in delivering related services and were more likely to be running gaming-related events. It was concluded that staff attitudes towards video games are not a barrier to their inclusion in public libraries, as found in previous research. Practical implications Encouraging staff engagement with video games may improve their knowledge and confidence in delivering video game services, although further research is required to confirm this. There is a potentially underserved population of those aged 46–84 years, nearly half of whom play video games. Evaluation of this potentially underserved population is an interesting topic for future research. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this was the first survey of public library staff views towards video games in Aotearoa New Zealand, and it updates previous research in light of developments in gaming, gaming technology and the increased focus on public libraries as providers of digital technology and sites of community engagement.
