Human decision making is often driven by greed. AI will allow us to generate essentially infinite customizable content, probably with the ability to imitate famous beloved authors. There’ll probably be softwares you can employ to generate your own stories, and make them infinitely customizable.
We’re at the very beginning and we already see Amazon swamped with AI generated content and art. I’m worried about the future of literature. I’m worried about the future of humanity.
I have no understanding of how people are so confident everything will be fine. Again, we’re profit driven. I don’t think publishers are going to stand for the moral ground.
It already feels like (with how rampant social media content is) nothing is special anymore.
When an artist finds their muse, their glimmer or whatever you call that spark, the artwork comes out so naturally and easy. As for writers, the story practically writes itself. Words string together in such unusual sequences that the conscious human mind can’t typically come up. It taps into a primal part of our being that engages the senses, it tries to put into words feeling we collectively know but cannot grasp onto. When the audience consumes such material, they too get to envelop that beauty and enjoy it.
Meanwhile AI could string together words, but it uses a database to produce the algorithm. But by itself, it’s lacking the soul that makes it relatable and engaging. Not saying that it can’t learn to write and I’m pretty sure some writers out there incorporated AI into their writing process. So who’s to say?
