AI-generated language, created by large language models (LLMs), increasingly permeates writing and speech but remains difficult to distinguish from human text, complicating authorship verification and fostering suspicion. While AI excels at producing grammatically correct and functional prose, experts argue it lacks the embodied experience and social context essential for truly original, evocative storytelling, as the creative impulses driving literary innovation remain beyond its reach. Writers and linguists reflect on AI’s impact, with some embracing it as a tool and others cautioning against its influence on language originality and the intimate human connection in literature.
