Opinion: Why would we want to outsource being human to a machine? Just because something can be done by a machine more quickly doesn’t mean it’s better. Writing is a key aspect of what makes us human.
There is a swaggering new genre on the writing block and it involves humans writing about machines writing. Writers are churning out pieces, presumably on their own, extolling the uses of AI writing programs, declaring the high school or college essay dead, and offering suggestions for a new partnership between humans and machines.
Most writers give machine writing a B-plus but the subtext is that one day, not too far off, the writing will be even better, and if you can’t beat ’em, you might as well join ’em. This is the essential and eternal promise of technology and a nod to its perceived inevitability and superiority. But it’s not the only possible response to machine writing.
In this latter view, writing is fundamentally a human activity that no amount of machine capability can ever truly achieve. In response to Marche’s point, a machine might show us how to copy Coleridge but not how to be him. That’s part of the real mystery of literature, of any art. And the whole point of art is not to imitate, but to create. It’s why we celebrate Picasso and Vermeer but don’t celebrate the forgers of their works, not really.
