The difference is basically... understanding. Like yeah, sure if you abstract away the concepts AI writing something is similar to Humans writing something, but let's dig into the actual detail: >Both of these things absorb huge data sets Yes, and this point the AI is probably absorbing more total data, but the human understands structure of that data better. A good new book isn't just some new variation of concept, the author has a structured understanding of the relevant work that came before - and it's emotional and cultural impact, and intelligently builds on that. It may be that the AI is doing the computer equivalent of this process. But AI might never write Lord of the Rings because an AI never served in WW1 as a formative experience in it's youth. That's just one more thing that was in Tolkein's "data set". Is great AI fiction only capable of being appreciated by other AI who have the same shared experience?
