Écrivains et Auteurs

AI might replace the more boring categories among the written word careers, but i don't see it replacing novelists, essayists, etc

Because AI can not replace the writers's feelings,thinkings,and personal experiences. Also, the sills of creativity etc.

While AI and other tools can write, I don't think they're advanced enough YET to write on the same caliber as a human

GPT and other AI generators may be able to write stories, but they don't come anywhere near human-written stories. Whenever asked to write a story, they always write it in a certain form, with similar plots. Nothing new or exciting. Plus, all humans think differently, so it would be impossible to model and AI that can think like every human. As a young author, I try to write stories outside the box that would be difficult for an AI to try replicating.

As a writer myself, AI doesn't scare me because it lacks what writing and stories originally entail: experience. You can have a fantasy dystopia story written by ChatGPT, but it can never hold up to the bar human-made fantasy dystopian stories have set. Why? These stories contain human experiences, they contain a message that authors wish to convey, experiences authors wish to convey. It's the humanity that stories hold that make them loved by people. Any text-based AI can write a story, but will it ever hold the same impact to a story an actual person wrote? No, because AI hasn't experienced anything actual people have experienced. It only "sees" what people witness and puts it into its generation without second thought. The reason people consume stories is because they can relate to it, they learn something from it. I know AI helps breakdown and teach things we can't understand by piecing together information from the internet faster than we can, but for it to write a story? Fat chance. Writing is more than just fast money content (that, sadly, already is in today's times) it is a form of art that records experiences and messages that cannot be conveyed with straightforwardness. It is something that holds bits and pieces of humanity, of someone's memories, of messages that are so big that it can never fit in a simple sentence. No matter how many years it will take, AI can never catch up with how high the bar has been set when it comes to writing.

I don't really think AI will take over writing. In my eyes, AI will never capture the thrilling, magical, real experience that humans can create.

Although they have a chance, AI can never reach the same level of imagination that we humans have when it comes to stories and fiction.

Though I have very little hope for humanity in the future, I still believe humans can change for the better.

If you believe that people engage with writers purely because it's "content", I must inform you that this job would have already been eliminated a long, long time ago simply by SEO.

ChatGPT is not going to write things that people care about. This isn't because chatgpt is a bad writer - it's because people primarily consume written content because of the person behind it. Since the dawn of the internet, and even before, there have been an infinite number of takes, a vast supply of content. Yet, somehow, people still pay for newspapers, and substacks, and books, and all sorts of things that are seemingly available for free with just a Google search. It's because of the particulars of that person's perspective, not just "story good" or "take good."

There are already far more failed writers than successful ones, and far more failed "in the style of" works than actual successful works. What AI will do is simply raise the stakes for what it takes to be a successful writer or author, since it establishes a baseline commodity. However, that baseline is already very, very high.

I'm an author, and I just thought I'd share my take on this. While it's true that AI can't replicate human emotions and experiences, it has proven to be capable of writing average stories. Too many people consume media without a critical eye. As long as people as a whole start to care more about quality media, we should be fine.

At least many blurb and screenwriting jobs could be automated. Although there would still be the requirement for some level of creativity

Robots will never be able to copy real writers' creativity, although they could help you write a short essay for school, AI cannot do original and creative writing.

Real writing uses creativity. AI is not creative, AI can only use what you input. It can rhyme, and write grammatically correct sentences, but it cannot convey emotion or elicit a response on a human level. I believe it could write a "good" outline, but not a good screenplay, much less a great book.

News and nonfiction are high. Fantasy, sci-fi, horror novels far less so.

Creativity, novelty, capturing the social, invention.

Because robots tend to be predictable and writers need imagination and I don't see robots having that

I wouldn't read a book written by AI. Replacing authors would promote illiteracy.

Being a writer or an author requires levels of creativity based on individual experience that I believe AI could never truly imitate.

Seeing how high of a risk percentage there is makes me pretty concerned for my future outlook. Although I truly believe that AI is incapable of replicating human originality or emotion for that matter, it is clear that companies and other external entities don’t care for human creation. I do think there would be a lot of pushback from creators, and the writer’s strike in 2023 was a clear example of that, but I think there is an unavoidable sense of harm that will impact this industry directly.

It depends on the author, but currently the AI simply can not write a good book.

Cos we need to be creative, ya know?? AI can only write so well. As long as we don't ask ChatGPT to edit our books for us, they can't steal our ideas.

if robots replace writing then they probably will replace everything
