“The point of writing is to make something beautiful or interesting; the point of reading a book or a philosophy paper is, at least in large part, to make contact with another human mind that has strained to make something beautiful or interesting, whether or not the human mind has succeeded or failed. There would be no reason to read a novel that an AI had written, even if AI got to a point where it could write “well,” as perhaps it will if it keeps cannibalizing the greatest fruits of human endeavor with impunity. Writing a book with AI would be like driving a car to a marathon finish line, then claiming the title.”
