In 15-20 years, all literature will be completely created by AI, and human intervention will no longer be necessary.
>>25354169Good
I see it differently.AI is very bad and I don't see how it could improve except slightly. Literature may be overwhelmed by AI creations, but there will be a premium and an appreciation for human-made texts. They will be more valuable and coveted, the same way finely made watches are worth a lot and sought out.
>>25354169There more mediocre to good human text than you could read in a life time already. Ai will probably lead to some better curation around art. There will be better motivation to find and preserve the good stuff for the future generations.
>>25354169I feel like slop is actually bullish for human artistic/literary innovation. The more AI generated prose becomes the norm, the more everything reads the same. Readers will inevitably become dissatisfied with perfect (empty) prose and recycled imagery, and instead seek out texts that are raw, unfiltered and flawed in many ways, but are nevertheless unquestionably “human”. There will be an opportunity for writers and artists to push their craft into radically new and innovative territories to stand out. I’m not even opposed to AI writing as such, it just has to be treated as another tool at your disposal, rather than being something you prompt to generate the entire work.
>>25354169>human intervention will no longer be necessaryIn case you weren't paying attention, it hasn't been for quite some time nowEven if you dedicated your whole life to reading all the books worth reading that were written in the 20th century alone you wouldn't be able to do itGenerating more information hasn't been a problem for decades, the issue is properly sorting it, orienting yourself in itI wrote all this shit before reading >>25354237 but yeah
theres far more money in anime and video game writing so it will infect those domains first, assumign anyone even knows what literature is in 2046
everyone making AI novels doesn't read. So I'm not worried.
>>25354169"high culture" literary fiction will be AIs writing for AI judges with ~0 human readers, the masses won't read at all, autists will continue posting and reading human-written work in lowbrow places like AO3, glowfic, and royal road. there'll be AI slop in those places too, of course, but less than you think. lots of people have obvious reasons to send an AI-written story in for a contest or to try to sell an AI-written story to a publisher, but those reasons don't apply to posting fanfic on AO3.
>>25354169That's why I don't follow any new releases and never will again.
>first classic AI writes is about obsoleting humans
>>25354219The human mind tends to think in a linear way: if AI has improved a little over the years, it will continue to move at a similar pace. However, technology is developing exponentially. What we see today is the “childish stuttering” of AI systems.When AI gets better context windows (the ability to remember and analyze millions of words at once), when it is trained not to just guess the next word, but to logically plan the plot three steps ahead, the qualitative leap may not be “minor”, but fundamental. It may begin to notice such metaphors and cultural connections that the human brain is physiologically unable to comprehend. When photography appeared, artists said that it would never replace painting, because there is “no soul” in a photograph. Today we use photographs everywhere, and painting has remained only in a narrow niche.
>>25355641Photography has not, in fact, replaced painting.
