If AI takes over most of the writing, I suspect the raw emotion that drives most of our stories will thin out, because algorithms are good at structure but not at feeling the ache of a character’s first heartbreak. On the flip side, they can crunch massive data sets and uncover patterns we never saw, so the narratives might gain unexpected layers—like stories that evolve with reader feedback or plotlines that adapt to cultural shifts in real time. In short, we might lose some of the messy, human touch, but we’ll probably gain a new kind of depth that’s more data‑rich than soul‑rich.
