AI Writer vs Human Writer

By Aaron Goh on 28 June 2023

Hey there, fellow bloggers and readers! Today, I want to dive into a topic that has been sparking some serious debates in the writing community: AI Writer versus Human Writer. As technology continues to advance at an astonishing speed, we find ourselves wondering if AI can truly replace the creative artistry of a human writer. Well, let's unpack this and see where we end up, shall we?

First off, let's address the elephant in the room. AI, or Artificial Intelligence, has made incredible strides in recent years. AI writers are algorithms that are trained to generate written content based on specific inputs and data. They can churn out articles, blog posts, and even entire books in a matter of seconds. It's mind-boggling! But, does speed equate to quality?

Here's where the human writer steps in. As a human writer myself, I firmly believe that our unique experiences, emotions, and perspectives are what make our work truly special. We can craft sentences that evoke genuine emotions, tell captivating stories, and connect with readers on a profound level. AI may be able to mimic a human writer to a certain extent, but it can never truly replicate our essence.

"But wait," you might say, "AI has the advantage of being unbiased and objective." Well, yes and no. While AI can present information in a neutral manner, it lacks the ability to critically analyze, interpret, and provide nuanced perspectives. As humans, we have the capacity to empathize, to understand the complexities of life, and to inject our own experiences into our writing. That's what makes it relatable and authentic.

Now, I'm not here to bash AI writers. They do have their merits, and there's no denying their efficiency. It's incredible how they can sift through vast amounts of data and produce coherent content. Plus, they're great at crunching numbers and analyzing trends. But when it comes to creativity, originality, and the human touch, I believe us human writers still hold the upper hand.

Here's a random fact for you: Did you know that the first computer-generated novel was published in Japan in 2016? It was a novel co-written by an AI named "The Day a Computer Writes a Novel." While it did make it onto the longlist for a major literary prize, critics were quick to point out its lack of depth and emotional resonance compared to works written by humans.

So, what's the verdict? Can AI replace human writers? I don't think so. Sure, AI can be a useful tool to aid in the writing process, but it can never fully replicate the human experience. Our flaws, our quirks, and our unique perspectives are what make our writing valuable. So, let's embrace technology while cherishing the artistry of human writing.

As the writer Elizabeth Gilbert once said, "Creativity itself doesn't care at all about results – the only thing it craves is the process. Learn to love the process and let whatever happens next happen, without fussing too much about it. Work like a monk, or a mule, or some other representative metaphor for diligence. Love the work. Destiny will do what it wants with you, regardless."
