MEMOIR, BIOGRAPHY, AUTOBIOGRAPHY GET THEIR DUE -sandra mickanen reporting

 my phone needs to charge before i can add a picture; before i can post pix from yesterday's super fun & blessed berryessa blue zone driveway happy hour..

but..

i've always gravitated to memoirs, biography, autobiography; to non-fiction; creative non-fiction.

and that represents the lion share of my personal home library.

i think in bookstores, it's a smaller section, while the shelves for fiction are abundant.

it is my prediction, that with the recent addition of AI, being able to apply formulas well established in fiction writing..   quick as a calculator can produce an answer for 12 - 8

that the very fact, AI stories being written generated are just that; some magical computerized formula of aggregation, appropriation, plagiarism, fusion of them all; [in fact, human written fiction also....]

but, 

i predict a drop in interest.

and a greater interest in 'original' content; in truth, in non-fiction, in the human's interpretation and creative sharing of their 'real' life experiences and memories..   

written from their hearts/minds/spirit.. 

i predict a drop in interest for unoriginal content in general.

a hunger and navigation toward 'real' in direct response to a barrage of 'manufactured'

***

and it should inspire the contemplation:   -AI hardware; digitally accessed knowledge; speed..   

  vs.  Human heart, earned wisdom; pace..


it should inspire the contemplation:  original & real vs. copies & manufactured..


it should inspire the contemplation:   MEMOIR by AI       "tell all by AI..."

   -wait.  actually...   AI as the ghostwriter!  yes..  

it should  -i believe it will, increase the value of, the interest in, all memoirs written prior to the onset of AI.     people   -poetry..   

***

each human being is a unique, original masterpiece..      i arrive there again, and again..

selah! hallelujah & amen

***

p.s.  i read AI as 'super intelligent'    -as a poet, writer, sensitive to language, connotation, denotation..

i cannot associate 'intelligence' with a tangible entity/object unable to give or receive love. 

knowledge..  facts... information..  the ability to apply..

   is a calculator 'super intelligent?' for supplying a correct answer instantaneously? 

i don't know what the proper vocabulary is yet...  but we need one; a different one..

for a different world. 

amen.
