Can Artificial Intelligence Write?:The Difficulties of Creativity and Collective Solution in Generating"Para-Literary Texts"
AI text generation has reversed"writing"in three aspects.It seeks to create combi-nations of words that resemble literary texts morphologically,i.e."para-literary texts",rather than creating the"most improbable"situations to communicate with others,which fundamentally contra-dicts"creativity".When it comes to the historical defense of text generation technology,the episte-mological commitment regarding"creativity"can neither get fulfilled by contemporary AI.The cen-trality of creativity is being challenged in both practice and theory,rendering it even more perplex-ing.By drawing on the"collectivity"of folk literature and extending the concept of creativity from individuals to collectives,we can reconstruct the connection between creativity,AI,and literature.It suggests that AI models can be a medium for a new form of art,requiring the unification of ethic actions and artistic creation,to express shared human condition through dialogues.
