This paper examines the expanding field of AI-written works and the broader implications for literature and human creativity. It discusses how algorithms are now capable of producing novels, poems, and other literary texts that mimic the complexities of human-authored narratives. Furthermore, it focuses on the philosophical ramifications of this technological advancement, questioning the role of the author in the age of AI and the shifting perceptions of individuality, originality, and authenticity in literary works. By analysing specific AI-generated texts such as ‘1 the Road’ by Ross Goodwin (2018) and ‘The Day A Computer Writes a Novel’ (2016) through the lenses of traditional literary criticism and symbolism, this research delves into the debate over the meaning and value of literature when the traditional boundaries between human and machine creativity become blurred. It considers whether these AI-generated works mark the end of human authorship and literary historicism or signify a new chapter in the evolution of storytelling, where narrative structures and artistic expression are redefined by the capabilities of artificial intelligence.
