When Stephen Marche says that ai is gonna change everything and nothing he’s saying that in a way history is repeating itself. From what I understood Stephen knows that other people see ai as “destroying human originality” but then makes a good point about the top movies being sequels or prequels and that originality has been dead for a while. His second point is what really made me understand his view, he explained how a dj used a microphone and turntables to isolate the sound of a song specifically the part everyone liked creating the “break” and as he put it the dj was you can say “imitating” or simply using someone else’s work but at the same time was doing the most original thing which is ironic. With the tittle of the article being “the future of writing is a lot like hip-hop” this is exactly what he means, he says that it took 20 years for hip hop to be seen as a form of art. Using this point of view we can apply the same to ai Stephen is essentially saying ai will change everything by becoming a new tool to be used and will definitely be looked down upon for not being original or should I say derivative but in the end history repeats itself and maybe it’ll take longer to see ai as a form of art. While it changes everything by giving writers something new to experiment with and giving us stories not a single human could’ve thought of, it changes nothing because everyone will learn to accept it.
