In Stephen Marche’s article, “The Future of Writing Is a Lot Like HipHop”, he asserts that “creative A.I. is going to change everything. It’s also going to change nothing”. With the rise of creative artificial intelligence tools, the belief that it’s going to destroy creativity is justifiable. However, in addition to the many possibilities that A.I brings, there are certain limitations to consider. It is difficult to produce a decent piece of writing with artificial intelligence that replicates human work. This is demonstrated by Marche’s attempt at creating a book that was entirely generated using artificial intelligence. In order to achieve his desired result and writing style he had to use a variety of prompts, in which he asked the A.I tool to replicate other authors’ writing. Despite these efforts, he claims that if you looked closely, you could tell it was written by a machine. While it is important to acknowledge that artificial intelligence will have a significant impact on creative processes, it will not replace the human aspect of creative thought and expression. Creative A.I. is going to change everything because tasks once requiring human skill can now be automated. But, it’s also going to change nothing because despite these breakthroughs, A.I. cannot mimic emotion or creativity, it cannot reach the same emotional depth as humans.

Stephen Marche poses the idea that A.I. is a tool with countless possibilities and limitations all depending on the hands of who is behind it. While the program is able to solve complex tasks such as imitating manner of speeches in seamless ways, it can be very easy to figure out it was written by a machine, rather than a sentient being. Simple tasks like disguising writing styles or producing basic narratives is when a challenge can be posed for Creative A.I. Instructions must be specific, though sometimes the complexity of the latter opens a bigger door for mistakes if not entered correctly; “This failure is probably due to my own weakness rather than the limitations of the AI.”
Although the existence of A.I. creates the illusion of imminent change it all depends on the skills and knowledge we possess to create an optimal result. here are things that will never go away due to the balance history and technology carry in society; the need for understanding and discovery of how things came to be about, to be able to further extend the potential artificial intelligence is able to provide.
