blog post #2

In his article, Stephen Marche argues that AI is changing writing into a form of literary curation. He compares it to hip-hop just as DJs remix existing beats to create new music, writers can now use AI to sample different styles and ideas of writing. This makes writing even more like the human as the director or producer, choosing the best parts from what the AI generates. I think this is a smart way to view AI. It shows that technology doesn’t replace creativity. It just gives us a new tool to experiment with. However, this means a writer’s taste and judgment are more important than ever. The AI can provide the words, but we must still decide which parts are actually worth keeping. Although I agree with Ted Chiang, I also agree with Stephen Marche. Personally, I think we should use AI to inspire us instead of doing all the work for us. What we should do by ourselves is to decide what we should keep and what we should cut from AI work, to be able to use our newest tool to be as effective as possible.
