Navigating Narratives: Exploring AI's Influence on English Literature

AI-generated narratives are not only becoming more complex due to developments in natural language processing and machine learning, among other areas - progress has been made so rapidly that they seem poised to go beyond many of the constraints long placed on literature. Consequently, this research aims to explore the way in which AI is reshaping the processes through which we produce literary texts - inventing new ways of storytelling and mediating our access to literature as readers. The result is an inter-disciplinary analysis, combining its own mixture of literary theory and computation linguistics with reader-response criticism. It first describes the evolution of AI in literature, beginning from early algorithmic text generators to modern neural network models such as GPT-3 and forecasting even newer iterations like say, a foreseeable GPT-4. The context sets the stage to further explore how complex, reasonably well connected and arguable-style literatures in bulk can be generated by today AI technologies, if it is possible - as also constrained- due to complexity. Methodology- The research will follow a mixed methods design that involves both qualitative and quantitative techniques. We collected a dataset with short stories, poems and essays AIs wrote in style as well as topics manually analyzed with computational measures The second comes with a set of experiments on comparative analysis, which involves human-authored texts as control. Thus, when comparing AI-Generated janitors to Human-Writers with respect to Narrative Coherence and Originality we can determine exactly what characteristics they share or do not have - disregarded Emotional Depth or Stylistic Consistency.
