How an AI-written book shows why the tech 'terrifies' creatives.

The spread and rapid development of artificial intelligence has brought about several changes in the world, both within technological sectors and within various professional fields. This impressive technology has, more specifically, sowed panic in creative circles: art and writing seem to have been the victims most affected by this “progress.”

Imagine devoting time, effort and energy to a creative profession that requires a certain introspection, a certain personal openness in order to be able to create true and profound content, such as writing, only to witness the emergence of artificial intelligence models aimed at imitating people's style and generating material that, to the untrained eye, might appear as if it were original.

What began as an innocent and humorous gift for journalist Zoe Kleinman has evolved into a frightening reflection on the current capabilities of this technology. Although it shows several flaws and shortcomings, details that a careful reader would notice in an instant, there is a risk that those less vigilant would not understand the artificial nature of certain texts.
