AI

Greetings gentle readers!

Today I want to discuss something that many of us only imagined in science fiction. As many devices and processes from the past have been realized in our present age, Artificial Intelligence has been on the scene for a while, and more and more businesses and computers are making use of the programs. I think it is important, as a writer, to consider banning the use of AI or at least the need to advise readers when AI authors literature.

In school it was known that having a parent or sibling write a theme would be cheating. The results would be a F on the theme. In my opinion, it is the same with literature. AI may write a piece of literature, but without a literary soul. A writer, for better or worse, puts their mind and heart into their writing and nurtures the piece like a love interest. Writing, cajoling, cursing, and love for the finished product. It becomes part of the writer and, dare I say, part of the reader.

AI in it's cold and calculated linear pseudo thought reduces literature to computer product. Not the very human process of the written word. I think this is a travesty and a tragedy to the world of literature.
