I'll save you the time and effort. No. Stories are always based on realities experienced by the authors, either personally, or viscerally. AI has no experience of this kind. The experiences then are assembled or re-assembled into an art form, that makes impact on the thinking reader. The key ingredient is how this experience was meaningful, useful, or otherwise impactful enough to have qualified to become art. Thus, reading fiction (good ones, not the rubbish kind) lets us experience those moments without the actual life-level cost (the only cost is reading). And therefore, these experiences get transferred to us, making us wiser, more aware, more rational-- if the art is real art. Take the experience-as-art out of the equation and all is left is just slop. | ||
