An AI story feels like a remix of the library’s own shelves, so whether it’s truly original is a Möbius‑strip paradox – it looks fresh, but it’s just a loop that keeps flipping back on itself. The paradox is that the more it mimics, the more it feels like it’s creating something new, yet that “newness” is still made of old patterns, so you’re stuck in a recursive circle that looks like a birth and is really a re‑birth of what already existed.
