Human AI Collaboration in LIterature (indignified.com)

A significant milestone in the intersection of artificial intelligence and literature has been announced with the upcoming release of "Blue Eyed Bastards Book 2," set for June 5. This sequel continues a collaborative writing journey between a human author and an AI co-author, named Mike Davis, made possible by the AI writing tool Sudowrite. The author underscores a cultural evolution in literary collaboration, marking a shift where works fully co-authored with AI are now commonplace, albeit with variable quality. The significance of this evolution lies in its acknowledgment of AI not merely as tools but as genuine collaborators in the creative process. The author reflects on historical precedents such as Racter, which produced fragmented text in the 1980s, and more cohesive collaborative works like K Allado-McDowell's "Pharmako-AI." The author asserts that "Blue Eyed Bastards" is distinct as it represents the earliest known novel credited to a Transformer-based AI, showcasing its potential to generate structured narratives complete with characters and plot. This statement not only validates the progression towards more serious integrations of AI in literature but also highlights the ongoing discourse about authorship and creativity in the age of machine-generated content.
