The problem with AI writing is that it can't add produce the texture of lived experience. This would mean the specificity of details, thoughts and sensations as filtered through a specific individual. There is a theory that what we perceive as beautiful in a face is that every feature, distance between the eyes, width of nose, distance between cheekbones etc is average. Note that a random face is very unlikely to have every feature be average. With AI writing, the problem is the reverse. LLMs have captured lived experience, but it's the smooshed over experiences of millions of people. It's not able to create a unique viewpoint which is believable. What comes out are average thoughts, sensations and details, but good writing lives in the specific. AI's problem isn't that it can't generate unusual things. It's that it struggles to generate believable conjunctions of ordinary things. But even this is too reductive. AIs don't have a body or a 'soul.' They don't know what it feels like to be a person, so they can't write like one.
