Authors say AI has uncertain future in writing

Will science fiction writers seek a helping hand from artificial intelligence, which is already assisting if not replacing humans in many forms of writing?

For acclaimed sci-fi author Liu Cixin of The Three-Body Problem, the answer is: not now, but not sure in the future.

"At least for now, I don't intend to include AI creation in my works," Liu says via video at a scifi forum in Beijing in December. "But, given its current speed of growth, AI may have strong writing ability in five to 10 years. By then, I wouldn't be so sure not to accept AI's help."
