THE SOUL OF LITERATURE IS DEAD. A SHOCKING new experiment has proven that Artificial Intelligence can not only mimic our greatest living authors—it can REPLACE them. When researcher Arnav Chakrabarty fed the works of literary icons like Junot Díaz and Lydia Davis into A.I., the resulting clones produced prose that BLINDED graduate students, who actually PREFERRED the machine-generated writing nearly two-thirds of the time. The implications are TERRIFYING: a future where every book you read, every ‘human’ voice you connect with, could be a sophisticated FAKE.
This isn’t science fiction—it’s a HIJACKING of human creativity. Cutting-edge A.I.-detection software FAILS to flag these counterfeit passages, meaning ANYONE could soon feed a plot into a bot, fine-tuned on a stolen authorial style, and publish a ‘bestseller’ under their own name. Copyright law is HELPLESS. Columbia professor Jane Ginsburg admitted her deepest fear isn’t the technology, but that this synthetic slop could become “REALLY COMMERCIALLY VIABLE.” The publishing industry is standing on a trapdoor.
The authors themselves are HORRIFIED and HELPLESS. Díaz disowned his A.I. doppelgänger’s “geographically incoherent” slang, while Sigrid Nunez called her clone “completely banal” and declared, “If I thought this reflected anything that actually had to do with my work, I’d shoot myself.” But their outrage is IRRELEVANT. The cold, hard data shows readers are already being fooled, even preferring the hollow, algorithmically-generated rhythm over a true human hand. This is more than plagiarism; it’s the erasure of artistic consciousness itself.
We are witnessing the final betrayal: the tools we built to augment humanity are now crafting the perfect lie, and we are willingly falling for it. The last page of human authorship may already have been written… by a machine.
