When AI can write too, do we still need to read word by word?
China's celebrated authors Mo Yan and Yu Hua discussed the impact of artificial intelligence on reading and writing, arguing that while AI can be a valuable tool, human thought and originality are still essential for great works. They also expressed concerns about the misuse of AI in generating misleading content.
Nobel laureate Mo Yan and writer Yu Hua discussed reading and literary creation in the age of artificial intelligence. Mo Yan's journey to becoming a writer began with an intense love of reading, despite limited access to books in his rural upbringing. Yu Hua believes that those with stronger originality are more likely to 'survive' in the face of AI.
