Where does an author draw the line when a revolutionary technology threatens to rewrite human creativity? Since the unprecedented arrival of generative AI in 2023, writer Santiago Aramburu-Lobos has watched the art world shift, prompting him to set strict boundaries for his book, "The Carriers." While he calls AI a highly powerful tool that authors should leverage, he warns that using it for generative writing destroys the originality of human thought.
For his own novel, Labouze limits ChatGPT and Gemini strictly to preliminary research and studying basic structural elements as a mere first step. This defining moment creates a sharp divide in his workflow, as he uses AI to translate informational blog posts to save time.
But when translating the actual book, Labouze insists only a human translator can preserve the soul of the story.
