Essay: AI's and the Future of Writing

AI-based writing software is threatening to replace the art of writing. I am sure you've seen or heard stories about the new AI-based software that is capable of mimicking art to the point where it can create pieces that have won art contests. Well, I am writing because it's come to my attention there are programs in development and even in use at this very moment that allow people to generate entire sections of text based on prompts. You may have seen the sillier versions that come up with mostly nonsense in years past, but the newer programs apparently are beginning to mimic high-level literature. In time, they have the potential to replace actual writers and generate entire novels and storylines without a user needing any practice or training of their own.
