If you asked these questions to a friend and they told you a really gripping story which ended up just being a bunch of lies they made up, how would you feel about that? Sure, you were enthralled by the storytelling, but then what?
But maybe that's the future. Instead of reading books and watching movies, we'll just be fed custom-tailored stuff created on the fly by AI. Dopamine on a drip (not unlike scrolling social media).
I'm honestly not sure? I almost said something like that, like "what if you read a book and find out the autobiographical parts were made up?" Or, "what about normal fiction?" We don't care that that's made up at all. And that doesn't bother us; to the contrary, we see it as a very high form of art.
Which is all to say, I have a kind of similarly visceral reaction to AI-written stuff, but I struggle to entirely articulate why, and every time I come up with a good reason, there's some counterexample that where that same thing seems to apply and it doesn't bother me.
