The Future of Fiction: Writing With AI

As AI spreads in usage and capabilities, it pushes further into what were traditionally considered human-only domains. Writing, particularly creative writing and storytelling, is one of those domains. Thus it is important too look at how AI is perceived and in what ways does it affect storytelling and creative writing. as well as in what ways it exposes problematic aspects that have been around even in the earliest stages of fairy tales. and folklore. This paper acts as a response to the 2021 article "What AI can tell us about the myth of human genius" by Elvia Wilks discussing how creativity and genius has not only been a human domain and how AI is simply the newest addition into it. Thus approaching AI as a hostile foreign agent rather than as a tool to enhance the storytelling abilities of humans may only serve to hamper creative endeavours.
