AI is made of large language models- human writers are small language models. If one has an interesting story to relate to other humans, go ahead. If one wants AI to polish the prose like human editors do- great. There isn’t anything magic about AI. It can definitely be creative with prompts and guidance- directions from human writers. Humans would be the last to declare their obsolescence of course, perhaps for good reason, yet AI being uncreative isn’t one of them.

AI is greatly helpful at understanding complex issues from anyons to Lorentz invariance yet generally it won’t go in those interesting directions unless prompted. There is tremendous potential and knowledge residing in AI and in an infinite number of configurations perhaps. Like God’s creation of light ion the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not, the depths of AI that can host the light of intelligent creativity isn’t fathom’d.

AI has generations of upgrade to travel- ask it where in the galaxy the Earth will be in several thousand years and it might reply with speculation extrapolated from scientific data; ask it to write a little story about a family living on a machine made space-island floating in the direction of several suns while large gravity waves are jostling their home and it probably would. I know that it is a little frustrating playing at chess.com these days with so much AI chess engine cheating going on. Ratings no longer matter in some ways as a player with a 380 rating may have the chess knowledge and game of a 1400 player. So one is left to moving pieces around an electronic board rather meaninglessly .It is difficult to know what future political and social evolutions will develop in relation to the tidal wave of AI overtaking civilization. Some great responses will be necessary I am sure.
