Whether artificial intelligence can defeat humans in literary creation depends on which aspect is compared.

On the one hand, if we compare in terms of quantity, artificial intelligence will definitely defeat humans. The famous science fiction writer Liu Cixin once wrote a short story called "Poetry Cloud", which describes the true era of artificial intelligence. , the machine has written poems in various arrangements around the world, but the machine cannot choose which poem is the best. In other words, artificial intelligence may optimize all the permutations and combinations, but it cannot find that poem by itself. . Therefore, in terms of quantity, artificial intelligence will definitely surpass humans in creating literature, but artificial intelligence does not have this kind of appreciation.

On the other hand, the reason why we are obsessed with literature is because literature has the power to stir people's hearts. Literature is the embodiment of human creation and contains human spiritual temperament, emotion and innovation. However, literature created by artificial intelligence may lose the power of these emotions and be unable to have the charm that transcends time and space.

Based on the analysis of hypertext and multimedia electronic reading, Yan Feng, a professor at Fudan University, further proposed that this reading method itself is a kind of reading that points to the future. Yan Feng explained that the revolution of literature by the Internet is not special, and its trend has been revealed in the past. The study-style reading that people have always claimed to defend is linear, from beginning, development, climax to ending, and the fate of the protagonist is unique. However, looking at the history of modern literature, this model has been subverted. "In fact, linear realist literature has fallen out of date. In the 1980s, we were all doing stream of consciousness, with an uncertain ending and the fate of the characters," Yan Feng said. "This is actually a state of the Internet. Barthes, Isn’t the literary form that Foucault longed for back then now?”

In short, artificial intelligence may defeat humans in terms of quantity of creation, but it will definitely not defeat humans in terms of quality of creation. At the same time, artificial intelligence cannot defeat humans. You will develop an appreciation that surpasses that of human beings.
