summary: "Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller used the Wall Street Journal's opinion pages to argue that the US Treasury is inappropriately suppressing borrowing costs. The investor later told reporters he used artificial intelligence to write the piece, adding that he was not embarrassed by the decision because of his transition from an English major to an economics major. Wall Street Journal opinion editor Paul Gigot defended the use of the technology as a \"fact of modern life\" and asserted that the column reflected the author's genuine opinion. The disclosure comes after the Financial Times updated a column by a Harvard professor to note that AI had been used to condense a longer draft."
