AI Generated Narratives and Literary Canon Formation

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved from being a futuristic concept to an integral part of our everyday lives. Each and every aspect of our lives is now governed by AI from education and health care to virtual assistants like Alexa and Siri. Literature has not been able to do away with the profound involvement of artificial intelligence in it. This intersection of literature and artificial intelligence has brought about certain changes in the way we create, perceive and consume literary texts. This paper deals with the idea of the evolution of traditional literary canon and narratives due to the greater involvement of artificial intelligence. It also aims to dive into the concept of the traditional literary canon and how has it been challenged by the new age technological literature overpowered by artificial intelligence. Alongside this brief comparison, the research tries to analyze the possible “Evolved Narratives” that might become the standard in the near future altering the conventional style of literature increasing the dependence on the artificial intelligence systems wherein humans take a backseat giving the steering wheel to AI bots giving them the agency the change and manipulate the narratives.
