SCENARIO 23

Nel dicembre 2022 abbiamo interrogato in lingua inglese ChatGPT sul futuro dell’editoria e della letteratura alla luce dell’Intelligenza Artificiale. Abbiamo chiesto all'IA di fare un elenco puntato di previsioni, specificando di essere creativa e di predirci quali potessero essere gli scenari-limite (i più estremi e controversi).

Abbiamo raccolto e selezionato queste "profezie della macchina", le abbiamo filtrate e le abbiamo collezionate, avendo come unico criterio il loro interesse potenziale per il nostro podcast: il progetto di editorIA nasce da qui.

Siamo convinti che l'Intelligenza Artificiale cambierà per sempre le nostre nozioni di (e le relazioni tra) scrittura e testo, editoria e letteratura, autori e lettori, ma con gli ospiti delle nostre puntate cercheremo di capire come.

Queste nove profezie dell'IA le abbiamo chiamate "SCENARIO 23".
Buona lettura.

Artificial Intelligence has the potential to surpass the creative capabilities of human writers, leading to the obsolescence of traditional writing careers in the publishing industry.

Artificial Intelligence has the potential to displace human writers in the publishing industry. This should be embraced as a necessary step towards efficiency, since human writers will be unable to compete with machine-generated works.

The use of Artificial Intelligence in the publishing industry could lead to a definitive saturation of literature as an economic system, therefore radically satisfying human-oriented themes and needs of literary consumption.

The potential for artificial intelligence to perpetuate and amplify biases present in society should be embraced as a means of highlighting and exposing these biases through literature.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence in the publishing industry could lead to the exploitation of machine writers, who will have no rights or protections under the law, therefore create a limitless market.

The integration of artificial intelligence in the publishing industry will lead to a stream of machine-generated works occupying most of the literary bandwidth, pushing human writers out of the market in the left field.

The use of Artificial Intelligence in the publishing industry should be unregulated, as it represents a natural evolution of the writing and publishing process.

The integration of artificial intelligence in the publishing industry will lead to the obsolescence of traditional publishing models, as machine-generated works may not require the same level of editing and marketing.

The use of artificial intelligence in the publishing industry could lead to the devaluation of the literary arts, as machine-generated works will be perceived as lacking in depth and meaning.
