I don't think it can write something that's of a fraction of the quality of Kafka.

But GP's argument ("limit the space to text") could be taken to imply - and it seems to be a common implication these days - that LLMs have mastered the text medium, or that they will very soon.

> it can't write a foundational piece of literature

Why not, if this a pure textual medium, the corpus includes all the great stories ever written, and possibly many writing workshops and great literature courses?

I don't know what to tell you. It's more than a little absurd to make the qualification of being able to do something to be that the output has to be considered a great work of art for generations.

		I agree that the argument starts from a reduction to the absurd. So at least we can agree that AI hasn't mastered the text medium, without further qualification? And what about my argument, further qualified, which is that I don't think it could even write as well as a good professional writer - not necessarily a generational one?
