The term"optimization"denotes the process of enhancing things through specific measures.In the realms of computer science and operations research,optimization involves selecting the most effective method within defined constraints to achieve the desired outcome.Introducing optimization into literary theory can be compared to"beautification",with both similarities and distinctions between the two concepts.Within generative AI,optimization manifests in three forms:training,prompts,and iterations.The optimization of literary and artistic works hinges on their material mediums and their potential for refinement.The evolution of optimizing artworks has progressed through three stages:manual optimization,mechanical reproduction optimization,and AI optimization.During the era of manual optimization,various forms of"pseudo-optimization"emerged,including polishing and revising manuscripts,fine-tuning instruments,duplicating,transcribing,or even rewriting original works,as well as restoring cultural artifacts and archaeological sites.The era of mechanical reproduction optimization introduced categories such as"parameter optimization","editing optimization",and"performance optimization".In the digital age,AI optimization driven by algorithms has become prevalent.When incorporating optimization into literary theories,it's important to be cautious of several paradoxes.Firstly,while aiming for"optimized"results,it's essential to recognize that these outcomes may not be unique but rather commonplace.Secondly,biases present in data and variables may prove difficult to rectify and,paradoxically,can exacerbate biases,leading to prejudices.Thirdly,randomness doesn't always signify divergence but rather similarity and the recurrence of stylistic elements.
