AI's encroachment into literature, highlighted by recent scandals involving Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk's use of AI for ideas and Granta magazine publishing a potentially machine-written story, is catastrophic for writers. The author argues this impact stems not from AI's poor output or potential for unoriginality, but from what it does to the *practice* of writing itself.
While acknowledging that bad writing has always existed and that authors borrow from others, the piece contends that the outrage over AI misses the point about quality or originality. Instead, the core concern is that AI removes the essential struggle and difficulty inherent in the writing process, which the author views as crucial for a writer's personal growth, self-discovery, and the value derived from the creative journey. The author emphasizes that the process is as important as the product, and making writing "easy" through AI diminishes its inherent worth and human element.
