As someone interested in literature and culture, how do you feel about the idea of robots possibly creating art or writing in the style of famous authors?
I don't mind the idea, strangely. I have resigned myself to the inevitability. I suppose with the advent of AI it is already here. I know that many authors are already using AI to produce new titles faster and with less effort. Outline a story, let an AI write it and all you have to do is edit. A two year job done in a couple of months. I do not blame them. Writing is a long and tedious, time consuming, process, why not let an AI do the grunt work?
I do not allow this but many other authors do.
Robots, however, are a long way from today. Automatons engineered and controlled by AI exist already but they are not Robots. A moving, almost humanoid, machine controlled by AI is still a distant idea. But AI’s creating books and Art is already happening and will only become more prevalent. We, the human race, are making our own selves redundant.
