AlphaGo surpasses humans in the field of Go, but human intelligence cannot be reduced to logical computing ability. Poe believes that human intelligence is reflected in the ability to decipher the thoughts of opponents, which is fundamentally different from machines. Artificial intelligence technology surpasses humans in multiple fields, but there is a contradiction between human technological development needs and self preservation instincts. As the embodiment of the essence of human thought, writing has become a field that has not been crossed by artificial intelligence.

Collaborative Writing between Artificial Intelligence and Writers: Kaiman and 'My Algorithms and Me'

Explored the application and limitations of artificial intelligence in the field of literary creation. German writer Kaiman participated in experiments with AI collaborative writing and published the book 'My Algorithm and Me'. The book reveals the problems of AI in artistic creation, such as dependence on big data, lack of creativity, and susceptibility to bias. The text generated by AI is mostly data-driven and lacks originality in literary language. In terms of narrative, AI struggles to achieve coherence and cannot form a complete story structure. Kaiman's experiment shows that AI writing lacks internal logic and is fundamentally different from human writing. Although AI writing has potential in certain aspects, it is currently unable to replace humans in artistic creation.

Surrealism and Automated Writing: Unconscious Artistic Imitation

The Surrealist movement challenged traditional art in the early 20th century, placing dreams and the unconscious at the core of artistic creation. Breton defined surrealism in the Surrealist Manifesto, emphasizing the free flow of ideas and the state of reality beyond rational control. Surrealists explore subconscious content and attempt to capture and present unconscious images through automatic painting and automatic writing techniques. Automatic writing, invented by Breton and Su Bo, has become an important creative method for surrealist writers, emphasizing the synchronization of fast writing and thinking speed, as well as resistance to consciousness. Although surrealist automatic writing attempts to exclude the intervention of consciousness, there are still hidden internal logic and the hidden existence of consciousness in the work, which is fundamentally different from the "unconsciousness" of AI writing.

Enzenberg and the poetry automatic device: digital simulation of natural language

Explored the concept of "poetry automatic device" proposed by German poet Enzenberg, aiming to simulate the human natural language system through technological means and achieve automatic generation of poetry. Enzenberg's device is based on structuralist linguistic theory and attempts to simulate the finite symbol system of language through computer programs to randomly generate sentences. He emphasized the importance of holistic description of language systems and computer programming, including elements such as vocabulary, grammar, and syntactic structure, and pointed out the role of grammar and semantic logic principles in ensuring the correctness and meaning of program generated statements.

The boundary of consciousness simulation and the lack of essential creativity

Bart proposed in "The Death of the Author" that modern writing is a process of de subjectification, emphasizing changes within the language system rather than the individuality of the author. Enzenberg put this concept into practice through automated language devices, achieving the concept of 'author absence'. Modern literature and technological production meet in automatic writing, but the disappearance of the subject also leads to the disappearance of the essence of art. Although AI is intelligent, it cannot bypass the subject and consciousness, and only simulates literary creation through language systems. At present, AI such as LaMDA and ChatGPT have not yet broken through the boundaries of conscious imitation and belong to "weak artificial intelligence". The understanding of self-awareness by humans is still unknown, and it is impossible to establish a role model for self-awareness for AI. Weizenbaum pointed out that AI's "deep learning" only establishes the mapping relationship between input and target information, rather than true understanding. Artificial intelligence cannot simplify human consciousness into an information processing system, and its development in artistic creation remains at the level of simulating forms of expression, lacking creativity and adaptability. The lack of artificial intelligence in artistic creation has become a way to reflect on the content of human consciousness.

The Lack of Artificial Intelligence and the Renewal of Human Self Definition

The paper explores three essential deficiencies of artificial intelligence in artistic creation: embodiment, aesthetics, and reflection. The lack of embodiment refers to the perception of the world through the physical entity of human beings, while AI lacks this bodily experience, resulting in a lack of "warmth" in its artistic creation. The lack of aesthetics means that artistic standards are subjective and dynamic, and AI cannot implant human aesthetic standards. Its creative works are only a collage of existing artistic elements. Reflective deficiency indicates that AI is unable to engage in hyper rational thinking, cannot break out of the thinking paradigm for "second-order observation", and lacks the ability to flexibly handle rules and innovate. The paper also points out that language is the key to reflective ability, and automatic writing is a key observation point for whether AI can cross the Turing test. These deficiencies in artificial intelligence simultaneously prompt humans to redefine themselves, with embodiment, aesthetics, and reflection becoming the fundamental starting points for human self definition.

A 'self' belonging to artificial intelligence?

Explored the complex relationship between artificial intelligence and artistic creation, pointing out that this relationship not only involves technical aspects, but also touches upon the self reflection of humanities. Artificial intelligence has provided new avenues for artistic creation, lowered technological barriers, and promoted the popularization of art, but at the same time, it has also exposed its limitations in creativity. The deep learning ability of AI allows artistic styles to be mechanically replicated, but this may also lead to the popularization of art. This trend may prompt artistic creation to return to the emphasis on genius and unique souls. The lack of creativity in artificial intelligence reflects the limitations of its development, while also prompting people to re-examine the essence of humanity, especially the self-awareness, aesthetic, and reflective abilities that machines cannot surpass. These abilities have become the defining elements of humanity and the trend of future artificial intelligence research. The new subject in artistic creation will emphasize the differences from AI mechanical creation. Future theoretical research on artificial intelligence should go beyond the limitations of imitating human consciousness and explore the "consciousness" characteristics that belong to AI itself. Art creation can serve as a medium to reflect the "inner" world of AI, viewing AI as a unique "artistic subject" and exploring its non living, digital, and virtual "self". This will overturn the theory of single subject philosophy and lead us to explore more deeply the relationship between artificial intelligence, humans, and art.
