LONDON: Fiction writers who use artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots end up churning out narratives that are more alike than those penned by people, according to a team of UK-based academics.
Researchers at the University College London and University of Exeter found that when AI output was added to fiction, the outcome was stories that "decreased in novelty, overall" as these tales ended up "more similar to each other than stories by humans alone."
