It is quite insidious how AI is trained on real-world writers, who then get accused of being a copy, not the original.
It makes me think the future of language, at least in realms where authenticity matters, is going to be constantly changing slang, experimental structures, etc. – all things that boilerplate LLMs will never give you.
I was making a more general comment about the way AI works and how writers are increasingly getting accused of having “AI-style” writing.
Re:the rest, meh. People will continue to enjoy good literature — no need to performatively try to prove the unprovable. To say the least, AI is already perfectly capable of adapting new slang and of attempting “experimental structures”.
Sorry if rude. I’m glad you care about authenticity in art — on that we can all agree!
