Reply to comment by VictoryObvious6612 in How long until an AI is able to write a book? by Educational_Grab_473

People said the same thing about Go.

But when it comes to art, what does "surpass" even mean? Did Steinbeck surpass Tolkien? Did Picasso surpass Klimt?

It's a meaningless question. What matters is whether AI will be able to create works that are meaningful and moving to humans - and I believe that it will.

Go is solvable algorithmically.

Creating characters, plots and themes isn't. This will never happen.

Kind of proves my point. AI art programs are good at making pretty renders. It's on par with calendar art. They aren't doing anything with any kind of message or thematic depth and almost certainly never will. You can get away with that in visual media, but not if you're trying to write a whole fucking novel.
