What the latest artificial intelligence does is impressive. What we envision it can do, or rather, what we surely know it will do in a short time, is even more so. For this reason, many suspect that literature is under threat, or that authors will somehow be “overtaken” by the machine and become irrelevant. This is certainly untrue. Advance as much as it can, improve as much as it can, but artificial intelligence will never get rid of the adjective that is attached to it. For this reason there will always be a limit to what it can do, there will always be the impossibility of it expressing something that manifests an individual, real and unique experience, something that serves as the embodiment of a consciousness that evolves and registers itself in time through letters. And may this intelligence improve! May it reach levels of spectacular accuracy! Then it will be clearer than ever what is artifice in art and what is substance.
