Why Do We Need Human Writers

By Lance Winslow

There are many jobs that include writing, and creative thought. Often, there are people in these fields that make good amount of money, no most do not, but there are some that do. The question is what about all the rest? Do we really need humans to do all that writing? Think about it and think about how much better artificial intelligence is getting these days?

Did you know there is a computer scientist that has programmed software that has written 261,000 books? It’s true and the program scans text in hundreds of different categories and then re-arranges the sentences using grammatical rules. Is this plagiarism?

Hard to say, it sounds like it, but he is taking information from hundreds of sources and combining them, and he has the computer re-write it all. Now mind you he’s only been doing this a little while, a few years, but the eBooks he creates are readable, understandable and packed with information. Okay, so those are nonfiction books; what about fictional works?

Will someone create a computer program that can weave humor, mystery, conflict, and intrigue into a story with created characters in a realistic setting? Will this artificially intelligent software be better, worse or indistinguishable from a human author? When someone does perfect this, will they put their name on the works, would we know the difference? Would they flood the market crowding out human writers?

Folks this future is coming, so if a human writer gets too arrogant or think that they will compete in the future with computers and artificial software that writes, well, then, they are only kidding themselves. Just don’t let them kid you. Please consider all this.
