An English literature major? Kindred spirit here: comparative literature/humanities/history. I think AI is fine, a great tool. But I'm not interested in reading a novel written by AI.
Why do I read? I connect, across cultures, across centuries, with other humans. Sometimes I stop reading a book because I don't want to know that human. This was the case with Salman Rushdie. While his writing was technically brilliant, I didn't want to connect with that mind.
AI can tell me about the human condition, but it can't share the experience of being human with me.
I was a math minor. I was going to be a high school teacher, but changed my mind. Ended up working in public schools anyway... Beyond the creative, I'm thinking more the science side of things. What happens when AI shows everything we know or believe about reality out the window.
