How AI is changing language
the Guardian
As AI tools become ubiquitous, experts and novelists debate how machine-generated text is fundamentally altering human language, creativity, and the nature of literary expression.Summary
Artificial Intelligence is increasingly influencing how we communicate, raising concerns about the homogenization of language and the difficulty of distinguishing human authorship from machine-generated text. While LLMs excel at functional tasks and mimic stylistic patterns, experts argue they lack the embodied human experiences, consciousness, and capacity for true innovation that define great literature. Despite the growing prevalence of 'AI-speak' and the anxiety it provokes, authors like Jennifer Egan and Jeanette Winterson offer contrasting views on whether to embrace these tools or maintain strict boundaries to preserve authentic human voice.
