- Looked from any angle, the advent of generative artificial intelligence (AI) over the last few years has completely transformed the way humankind goes about day-to-day functioning, riding piggyback on the mindboggling technology. What started as an incredible supplement for human endeavours is suddenly turning out to be an amazing indulgence that appears to have no boundaries for technology, making its presence felt everywhere. The way the global community has willingly embraced the humongous advantages inherent in AI simply showcases the extent to which some of the cutting-edge technology can reach hitherto inaccessible areas. The moot point to ponder over here is whether AI can completely replace human ingenuity any time soon.

- Let’s dwelve further to comprehend the most intriguing question bogging humankind with the way AI is making its presence in literally every walk of life. While AI has seamlessly integrated into our daily existence, including the professional discharge of responsibilities, what deserves a thorough understanding is how AI is affecting intellectual stimulation, such as authoring a book. To place the matter in context, let’s attempt to consider the question of what, if any, text can be generated by AI, and how we know what is authored. As we know, large language models (LLMs) are becoming better and better at writing. Tomorrow, they may do something more. This is one aspect that must be bothering every party concerned with technology.

- As reported recently, Princeton researchers have established AI systems that mirror the human tendency to put a lower value on AI-generated content. One day, the machines might ditch this hierarchy. Humans might become agnostic about authorship. But that day is not here yet. Artificial hearts and knees are well and fine, but if someone’s caught passing off artificial words as natural ones, all hell can break loose. As Mia Ballard has just found out. In what is being called the landmark, first AI scandal to hit the Big Five of publishing houses, Hachette has pulled her horror novel, Shy Girl. Because the internet said, I spy AI has written this, in lines both neat and algorithm-kissed. But by no means is such Sherlocking foolproof.

- Moreover, all the chatbotting we do is changing our cadences, after all. There is no way of knowing that those who say they are being totally original are actually being so. In his essay, ” Why AI will never supplant human novelists – or win the Booker Prize, Ian Leslie answers this in terms of the fundamental reality of being alive in the world. It’s this that lets a novel about dragons feel deeply authentic. This is where authorship is more than a legal or commercial concern. We are engaging in a relationship with the consciousness behind the words. Strip that away, and doesn’t literature become just an elaborate ventriloquism act? We read the stories for the voices. They can lie, but they should not be a lie, after all. Think about it from the right perspective.
