The only thing human writers can do that AI can never learn from us
by Linda Caroll. But you may need to relearn what you unlearned
Today’s guest post is a wonderful writer I’ve been following lately, Linda Caroll. Linda writes about humanity, literature, the magic of writing and the frustration of creating in the time of AI. She also explores women’s issues, especially in the arts, and the history of women. We highly recommend you subscribe to her excellent newsletter, Hello Writer! (and her women’s history newsletter, History of Women).
With all the hype and fear surrounding AI, the piece below is a breath of encouragement for us artists because her article uncovers and explains detailed studies that have shown what AI actually can and cannot do and, it turns out, well, as we suspected, AI struggles with true creativity and there is no path, even with unlimited resources, for the AI companies to solve this challenge. In other words, true creativity is still reserved for human beings. However, that doesn’t mean you don’t need to up your game…as you’ll see in Linda’s excellent essay below.
