In the reading “The Future Of Writing Is A Lot Like Hip Hop” Stephen Marche makes a brazen claim in support of generative writing, likening DJ Kool Herc’s stroke of genius in creating the break beat to that of the derivative nature of A.I. writing. If it isn’t abundantly clear, I’m not in support of this statement and quite honestly find the sentiment laughable. While I do recognize the similarities in sampling and using Chat GPT for inspiration, The workload that goes into making a song with a sample versus writing a story that is ninety five percent written and constructed by an artificial being is quite stark. With that being said the Author did make some rousing points highlighting the downfall of creativity in current times before A.I. writing has come into full swing. He is explaining to us that a lack of creativity and genuine passion will always linger and creep it’s way into lucrative business opportunities. Marche looks at A.I. as a glimmering light in the gloomy and monotonous landscape that the artistic world is living in and he believes that, generative writing is neither bad nor good. It’s all about who is wielding the pen and what direction they decide to take with their knowledge of writing. He likens the accessibility of Chat GPT to an thesaurus stating how most folks have access to one but you wont find many people with a vocabulary quite that extensive. In the authors mind A.I. is nothing more than a tool, a reminder of a bygone era that affirms that we have been here before and we can grow past this again. When you think about the portrait artist and the shock that must of came from being able to capture life on film. There was a complete shift in how art was inspired and created after that and hopefully A.I. will push people to new heights and ideas we never thought possible before.
