Writing poetry, painting, composing, dancing, opening concerts, hosting ... In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has continued to intervene in literary and artistic creation activities. While enriching literary and artistic creation methods and literary expression forms, it also has a traditional literary and artistic expression. The concept, art form, etc. have a huge impact. Can artificial intelligence literature be a new type of literature and art with human literature and art? Can it be a subjective creation that gets rid of human instructions? From the current point of view, although artificial intelligence has brought fresh literary and artistic landscapes, the future of artificial intelligence and art is still obstructive and long.

Artificial intelligence literature is in the infancy

Artificial intelligence depends on massive data. Based on specific algorithms, it follows certain grammatical rules and programs to create. Artificial intelligence literature is essentially a "database creation", which is highly dependent on databases for human literary works. The more comprehensive the samples collected by the database, the more helpful the learning, imitation and creation of artificial intelligence.

Although artificial intelligence has created different types of literary and artistic works such as poetry, calligraphy, oil painting, and music, compared with human works, the so -called works they create are much more tender. Taking the poetry creation of "good at" by artificial intelligence as an example, if we analyze related works in depth, we will find that it is obscure, frank, meaningless, unclear, diverse explanations, variety of ambiguity, and lack of personality. Common characteristics of the work. They are essentially different from human creation. The latter is an emotional expression based on real life, and the poetry works created by artificial intelligence have different mechanisms and procedures. Focusing on keywords and using the word combination of big data technology, this reflects the limitations of artificial intelligence literature itself.

The development of artificial intelligence in various literary categories is not balanced. It has achieved good development in some areas of imitation and regular areas (such as dance art), but in a more unique and complex field of literature and art ( For example, novels), artificial intelligence obviously has no outstanding works. Although artificial intelligence has already started to create long -story novels, those so -called works can only be regarded as the accumulation of writing materials in the eyes of human beings.

It can be seen that artificial intelligence literature is still in the start and starting stage. Artificial intelligence has not established its own legitimacy in the field of literature and art, especially in the field of novels. Artificial intelligence works still fell back to human works in artistic heritage and artistic personality. As Professor Wang Chunhong of Lingnan University in Hong Kong said: "At least for a long period of time, artificial intelligence literary products are difficult to settle in the hall, so it is more difficult to enter the eyes of my generation."

Human beings have the subjective advantage

Marx proposed in "The Manuscript of Economics of 1844" that humans "constructed in accordance with the laws of beauty", while animals can only be produced in a narrow according to the "species scale". The difference between humans and animals. The difference between people and artificial intelligence is no less than humans and animals. In the foreseeable time in the future, human beings still have the ability to determine the development direction and use of artificial intelligence, just like a farmer knowing what a ax can do, but the ax will not understand the needs and feelings of farmers. To put it more straightforward, artificial intelligence is still unable to get rid of human beings and become a completely independent subject.

Compared with artificial intelligence, human beings have a comprehensive advantage in literary and artistic creation, and can carry out creative activities independently according to their own will. The artificial intelligence can only be created by the human instructions. The creative process is operated and controlled by human beings. The works created are also to meet human aesthetic expectations. Therefore, artificial intelligence is more like human creative tools. Literary creation subject.

However, artificial intelligence has certain subjectivity. In the process of artificial intelligence creation, human beings issued instructions, control processes, and harvest results, but the "fine branches" of creation were completed by artificial intelligence. The part of the human transfer to artificial intelligence allows artificial intelligence to obtain a "sense of existence", that is, the weakness of the weakness. For economic interests, some people in the industry deliberately exaggerate the artistic creative ability of artificial intelligence, but no matter how exaggerated, it cannot change the reality of the current subjectivity of artificial intelligence in literary creation.

If one day is engaged in literary and artistic creation, artificial intelligence has independent will and ability to think, and can put forward its own aesthetic ideas and independent aesthetic claims. For example Being able to passively accept human creative instructions and follow human aesthetic standards, so artificial intelligence can become a true main body of literary and artistic creation. The author believes that in the foreseeable future, this goal is difficult to achieve. As far as reality is concerned, artificial intelligence so far is like a computer network, it is still an auxiliary tool for human literary and artistic creation. At most, it can only be regarded as a high -level creative production tool, which is far from being completely separated from human beings.

Feeling is an obstacle to artificial intelligence difficult

Marx said: "Beauty is the object of human essence." It is with special social practice activities that humans will have aesthetic activities. At the same time, beauty is the affirmation and confirmation of the essential power of people, and it is the organic unity of the pleasant attributes of the object and the psychological pleasure of the subject. Writers and artists have real life experiences and gain real feelings, experiences and emotions, and they will have a keen insight and grasp of the times and society. Qi rhyme. As a human creation, artificial intelligence does not have its own social practice, and it cannot produce the ability to feel beauty based on social practice. Naturally, it is impossible to form an independent judgment of beauty and form a unique expression about beauty. For a simple example, with the image of autumn, human beings can express the sorrow of "already worried alone in dusk, more wind and rain", and can also express "the sadness and loneliness of autumn from ancient times, I said the autumn to win the spring". Holder, and the works created by artificial intelligence will mostly associate autumn with Xiao Se, sadness, etc., and cannot give more unique meanings based on specific scenes. When most literary works mean the meaning of "Xiao Se" and "Sadness" in autumn, artificial intelligence can only be learned according to data statistical results.

"The touching person, no matter what is affectionate." Human beings emphasized the true feelings and still righteous. Artificial intelligence can imitate human creation of literary and artistic works according to algorithm logic, but it cannot simulate the emotion and consciousness of human beings based on historical experience and life experience, and it is more difficult to see things like human beings. This is artificial intelligence. This is artificial intelligence. A major obstacle that is even more difficult is also an important reason why artificial intelligence cannot create great works. Writer Nanfan once gave such an example: artificial intelligence has a very powerful memory function, but it does not recall. It is impossible to recall how the programmers write a key instruction in the afternoon. Which moving scenario blends can be a chance to touch creation. Therefore, artificial intelligence's literary and artistic creation is only an imitation of human creation, not a kind of independent creation similar to human creation.

Be alert to artificial intelligence anti -servants

The above -mentioned analysis and judgment on artificial intelligence literature and art are adverbial with "as of the present". Can future artificial intelligence break through the current limitations and create amazing handed down works that can compare with human literary classics? Although human writers and artists are not optimistic about the future of artificial intelligence literature and art, many people still look forward to the scientific community.

In the future, if artificial intelligence wants to achieve new breakthroughs in the field of literature and art, it will need to further evolve, improve, and improve in deep learning and other technologies. It even needs to seek structural changes from deep logic, thereby generating new forms of artificial intelligence. What exactly does this new form of artificial intelligence look like and to what extent intelligence can reach? Even if it cannot have wisdom like humans, at least it should be close to the intelligence level of human beings, such as being able to perceive the external environment and emotions and feelings in all directions. This type of man's artificial intelligence can develop new social relations with its own kind and humans, and can participate in social practice activities in such social relations, and then produce its own unique aesthetic imagination and aesthetic expression in this process. On this basis, it is possible to engage in literary creation like humans, and to create classic literary works.

We cannot judge whether there will be artificial intelligence in the future. What I am worried about is that in case artificial intelligence really has self -awareness, its emotions may be awakened, and desire may be stimulated. At that time, whether artificial intelligence can create great literary works is irrelevant. The most terrible thing is that artificial intelligence may be separated from human control, and even anti -servants. Of course, this discussion has been out of the category of literature and art, but many literary and artistic works, such as science fiction movies and science fiction, have been widely discussed in the danger of the future. Since the technology represented by artificial intelligence can make such a great change and impact on culture and art, why is it impossible for culture and art to warn the "evil fruit of evil" in advance?
