We had an interesting discussion this morning about my posts of the last two days. The question on the table was whether an AI-enhanced literary work is still a book.
We concluded that it comes down to the intention of the author. If your goal is to use words to make a painting, then you are making a painting. If your goal is to use words to create an interactive game experience, then you are creating a game.
But if your goal is to tell a story with words, and those words are subsequently enhanced through automated means, then your book is still a book. For example, an e-book on a Kindle is still a book, and an audiobook with A.I. narration is still a book.
Intentionality matters.
