This was something amazing to see for Writers. So many things influence your writing, your voice, your word choices that it's all too much for some people.. and those experiences shape your work in both visible and invisible ways.
Maybe I'm reaching, but I think this is why genAI will ever fail to match human artists; it's only the stuff above the water, it lacks all the stuff underneath that truly makes art
AI is like the True Fae in Changeling: the Lost. They can only ever copy and remix, never engage in true creative endeavor, which is why they have to kidnap people and make them into Changelings. Which is also what AI does.
I don't know anything about "the lost" but this seem almost the opposite of what happens in "the dreaming"...
well at least for fae in general, the 'unseelie' or even the 'thallain' I can see as being similar to AI... as they are somewhat a "corruption of creativity/dreams of humanity"
In Dreaming the Changelings are people who realize they have fairy souls; in Lost they're people who were kidnapped by the True Fae and made to serve some kind of purpose in the mad worlds of the Fae, like being maids or heroes or hunting dogs or shopkeepers or tailors or lanterns whatever.
yeah it's very different... the whole dreaming seems to me like the idea of "joy is an act of resistance" and trying to fight a world of darkness and bleakness with the light of creativity, self-expression, and happiness...
that's why I got a little LOST there ~
Lost is more a game about surviving trauma than the very 90s Office Space sort of "mundane life will kill your soul" theme. Tho there is still magic and wonder.
