Abstract

This paper aims at examining the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in creating and producing two main genres in literary work: prose and poetry. It becomes increasingly normal that in our current era, Artificial Intelligence has been spectacularly developed to the point where it possesses intellectual and aesthetic capabilities comparable to those of humans, leading to speculation that artificial intelligence might replace humans, including in the domains of art and literature. This development has led to the next big enigma of how far artificial intelligence can create literary works, such as prose and poetry, that are readable and measurable by human’s standard. This research focuses on four types of artificial intelligence platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude AI): how those platforms collaborate with humans to produce the new breed of literary works, such an entity that we call ‘cyborg literature’. The particular objectives of this study are (1) to investigate the extent to which artificial intelligence can develop literary works such as prose and poetry, and (2) to analyse the characteristics and aesthetic values of the works produced by these four artificial intelligence platforms. The data collection for this research is compiled through a new mode of qualitative approach, which is a series of dialogues between human beings and AI machines. Later on, the data gained from the conversation is to be discussed through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). The result of this research will be helpful in understanding to what extent Artificial Intelligence is capable to provide a new breed of literary works.
