How can a writer remain relevant in the age of AI? Right now, AI tools, guided by a human, can write an entire novel in a single day. Soon, the AI won’t even need a human. So what’s the future of the human writer in this world? The AI doesn’t need me to write adventures about spaceships, cowboys, police dramas, romance, or pirates. What can I do that it can’t?
I can write a story with personal details that don’t exist in the digital world yet. I can tell the story that only I know. For example, it’s important to me to write a novelized version of my father’s life. It must contain the ugly and the beautiful details that only I know. Can AI write about a random, fictitious character who has struggled through life? Yes. But it wouldn’t be my father’s life — and that is the part that is important for me to write.
What can you write that’s beyond the reach of an AI writer?
