There are new AI startups using similar tech to break down a screenplay/novel into analytics in hope to predict it will be successful. My concern is that this will only add to the formulaic trash that the industry spits out. On the other hand, if it is structured in the right way, can it give a voice to writers that would not have been noticed? And not to be too critical, but is there a reason they shouldn’t be noticed? Are they lacking creativity and originality because they are a slave to these formulas?

As a writer, I dread this day. I’ll be as obsolete as rabbit ear antennas. Then again, what if they can create work similar to what I already like. I won’t have to wait around for that magical book to come along.

i agree with anonymole! Lol! yes indeed! Editors & publishing houses no longer needed! (Yes!) 😀 Something i would have never thought of!

What do i think about AI authors? Fascinating and a problem.

A problem, in that further mistreatment of talented people and fascinating for a season.

Also , AI Ghostwriters? People passing it off as their own work?

No AI will be able to compete with the author genuises i love- for the deepth & breadth, no AI can truly comprehend, & there are many who are popular & talentless.

There are many utterly awesome literary geniuses, who have been rejected, never published.

The AI addition, may make books too cheap to make a living on?

It is not worth whatever benefit, for the possible downside is too great. Greater than the upside.

AI’s will never “understand” — but they will mimic understanding. Their breadth and depth will so astounding that they will be able to generate the semblance of emotional evocation. But they will never feel love or hate or loss or triumph.

The creation of content by AI is, I feel, a waste of time and resources. What an ALANN should be doing it replacing the literary agents and acquisition editors of publishers. (Automated Literary Analytic Neural Network) ALANN should consume stories and use its data banks to critique work based on what it has compiled.
