What are the implications of AI for literature?

AI would never let us escape the "matrix" and therefore certain literature would be banned or dumbed down.

In general, technology is already the main contributor to the descension of literature in society. The development of AI (which will grow at an exponential rate) will have until societal consequences - we will potentially witness the death of literature (which might end up being the least of our concerns).

However, in the near future we may gain technologies such as advanced proof-reading technology. AI will grow ever skilful at being able to replicate human works, which will be interesting (I doubt that this specific skill will be the reason behind the death of literature).

The implication is that if you submit a book to a publishing house now it won't even be an unpaid intern reading the first few lines before tossing it

Well to be frank DeepL already does better translating in seconds than many professional translators end up publishing.

I hope the advanced proofreading AI would be able to fix the grammatical atrocity that is your poost

started reading Bronze Age Mindset,
already couple pages into, when this comes to mind, sus that the book AI generated.
Not that i didnt enjoy it. Idea of finding myself being a toy to some weird robot feels really queer.

"AI" are algorithms meant to do specific tasks. They're never going to be self aware or make that level of decision on their own.

Beep boop. You're gonna eat those words meat bag.

AI will bring immortality to some of our most cherished authors. Adopting the writing style of one Mr Terry Pratchett to compose an endless discworld narrative.

Been using AI for short story writing the last year or so. It’s gotten so much more powerful in that time alone.

Most of the commercial strength of AI is in copywriting, style transfer, and reading/scoring content (think grading essays or filtering writing submissions).

As for creative writing, AI can be a great crutch for writer’s block. Whenever I’m stuck, I have the AI generate five or so next paragraphs to give me ideas. It’s very good at dialogue.

At this point, AI on it’s own writes some pretty odd content, but using it like a writing partner has potential. It means someone can write a book the way a director makes a film. He doesn’t act, he give the actors guidance and nudges until they achieve the vision he’s looking for.

It might get to a level where it can generate generic mass market pulp trash, but I doubt it will ever produce true classics.

[Anonymous No.19693677]

I think the difference in difficulty between the current state of the art and generic pulp might be less than the distance between pulp and great literature.
And by the time it's able to write generic pulp it'll be amazingly powerful, and we'll likely be able to automate over half of current human labor.
Writing cheap trash is hard for a machine.
