Artificial intelligence, but official
We read that the short story The Woodsman's Snake (I translate freely, without ChatGPT), winner of a Commonwealth Foundation prize, written by Trinidad and Tobago author Jamir Nazir and published in the magazine Granta, is suspected of having been created with artificial intelligence.
AI-generated stories base their effectiveness on substance and not on form. You can ask it for a plot that sounds like Xavi Bosch and, probably, by taking his books, it will be able to "save as" one of his plots. It can make you one that doesn't take place in Paris, but in Rome. It can "devise" a plot for Sílvia Soler, where a family appears, because Sílvia likes families and childhoods. But an AI cannot create a "form" based on the "form" of Xavi Bosch or Sílvia Soler. An AI can invent a historical novel for you based on Jaume I, taking all the relevant facts of his life (of which it has a lot of information, much more than from the novels of our two mentioned authors). It can make you an Agatha Christie novel (an author I love and like very much), but it cannot make you a Richard Ford novel, who these days, incidentally, is in Barcelona. is in Barcelona.
What I mean by this is that AI can do a type of writing: one that is parodiable. And this is not a demerit. It can write an article, yes, following each of our norms. It can invent a joke (but a bad one). It cannot write a modern novel, because modern novels do not want to explain what, but how and who.
Series already use templates with precise literary rules. The protagonist will fight alone to assert her skill in a man's world. She will fight, she will fall, she will get up (up to three times). She will overcome past problems, due to her parents. Love will redeem her. She will always plan the fight against the world in a bed with a pretty print, with thick socks, always matching.
