The idea of an increase in the power of robots is attractive and frightening at the same time, as the escalating technical development would eventually bring robots capable of replacing human capabilities and performing various types of tasks, including complex work that requires intellectual and even administrative functions ، here lies the point.
Will artificial intelligence replace writers?!!! A question that has become a concern for the majority from the literary community and outside it as well .
Most people have heard of the application of artificial intelligence (Chat GPT), which has spread in social networking sites in recent days, because the media has been talking a lot about it lately , this artificial intelligence is a powerful multi-purpose tool that can be used to improve the overall process of many businesses and organizations as well as a powerful tool for education and training that can be used to save time and effort.
No one was waiting for CHATBot to come free and gather a million users in less than a week after its launch , which intensified the competition between it and Google, who in return announced an emergency situation to search for an urgent solution to face the rise of CHATGPT, and its effect on their position in the market. Therefore, Google tested a chatbot called Apprentice Bard, where employees can ask questions and receive detailed answers similar to CHATGPT . Another unit within the company was testing a new design for a new search application that can be used in a question-and-answer format, similar to CHATGPT, which will make the matter worse especially with other upcoming robots .
After its launch on November 30, 2022, by San Francisco–based OpenAI, the creator of DALL. E2 and Whisper AI, the ChATGPT program gained rapid fame among the literary community in particular due to the speed of writing books and novels in record time. Many writers have adopted this program in their writings or tend to , even those who deal with Amazon and Kindle, because this program enables them to write a book within One month, and this is an imaginary record for literature, which requires normally, a lot of thought, imagination and creativity and months to finish a book .
The difference between Google and Chatbot was in fact, big , because the latter does not give a list of answers, but a direct answer to our question, and the more precise the question was , the more accurate the answer was given. CHATGPT became the most influential intelligent robot , to the extent to solve school assignments, the application programming, and the best of it is writing books and novels, which makes one wonder, including myself,not only about the relevance and credibility of literary art in general , but rather about the dangerous side effects of these machines, because, it remains an automatic robot after all .
I wonder if the artificial intelligence would really replace the writers. In the midst of this effect of technology on our lives, is it still possible to love reading those books and novels that will be written by robots ?!! For me, and because reading is my favorite passion especially novels, I don't like the idea of relying on the CHATGPT program to write books and stories, because I think that the writing will be devoid of human feelings, the fertility of the imagination and the special details of the writer that give a distinctive taste to the novel. How would I dive deep into the writer's thoughts, feelings, and imagination, while I know, beforehand, that the book between my hands is just a printing by a mechanic robot . It is true that the writer is the one who will direct this robot, but he will not be the one who will formulate his own thoughts and explain his situation , his experiences or his writing rituals, otherwise, the charm of a love story derived from reality or imagination is usually attractive and enchanting but once written by an automatic robot, it would seem ridiculous obviously .
Writing is an art, and art requires feelings, vision, and a unique state of mind to produce a book in a way that grabs the reader's attention through content, spirituality and the author's inspiration .
If writers actually adopt this program, literature, as I guess, will be discredited , and the literary community will experience an unparalleled extinction, because first, we will find many intruders writing books and calling themselves writers. Secondly, famous writers will lose their credibility even if the book or writer becomes famous, the content, already known as a result of an artificial intelligence, will lose its value, there will be no inspirational ritual, no special way of plotting, and no writer's interactions .
Before these technologies, we were eagerly looking forward to authors' publications , but, in this case, it would become boring like any other technology we consume a lot and get fed up with , especially with the increasing rate of publications per writer ,the contents will be quasi similar, in addition to the loss of the writer's spirit and thought that sparkle from his words while reading.
For me, reading a book written through the CHATGPT program is like eating an unhealthy fast food that does not satiate my hunger. This is how I see any book written with artificial intelligence, as a junk food devoid of taste, of the writer's imagination and all his emotions while writing. Many people may disagree with my opinion, and this is natural, in the difference lies the beauty as we said . I am not against advanced technology in some ways, but I insist that the use of artificial intelligence in the art of literature loses its splendor and lusterine.
Robots may be useful in one way or another, but when they infiltrate the details of our lives and take our place as distinguished human beings with a mind that thinks, creates and finds solutions, then the matter has become disturbing and insulting to us, to our capacities and talents, especially since we are the ones who program those machines . In fact, we transfer our intelligence to automatic brains and empty our own minds of the element of thought, analysis and innovation, because the human mind needs a long and continuous period in order to grow and become capable of creativity and work, yet, in the case of total reliance on artificial intelligence, we are regressing our faculties dooming ourselves to stupidity and destruction. In other words, the future may witness a decrease in dependence on man in a way that may eventually lead to the dispensation of his services, as he was dispensed with in many fields, and this caused many people to lose their work and the source of their livelihood, to cite a simple example, those who write articles for money whose career are gonna with the wind for sure, besides, many carriers will be at stake.
