人工智能文学及其对现代文学观念的挑战

Artificial Intelligence Literature and Its Challenge to the Conception of Modern Literature

人工智能文学是文学与科技相结合的新形态,具有顺序范式和连接范式两种类型、两个阶段。同时,人工智能文学也是对20世纪初以来多种先锋文学实验内在诉求的回应。对人工智能文学的认识和评价不应局限于以情感、灵感和创造力为核心的人本主义现代文学观念,而应当考虑到它所处的20世纪后半叶以来后人类和后文学的背景。在后人类和后文学的框架内,当下的人工智能文学可看作与人的赛博格身份相协调的赛博格文学,在人类视角与机器视角、作者与读者、语言文本与非语言文本等方面具有跨界潜能。作为一种语言信息处理方式,它可能极大地拓展文学的概念空间与表现形式。

Artificial intelligence(AI)literature represents a novel fusion of literature and technology.It encompasses two paradigmssequential and connectionist-across distinct developmental stages.Concurrently,AI literature responds to the inherent demands of various avant-garde literary experiments since the early 20th century.Understanding and evaluating AI literature should extend beyond traditional humanistic literary concepts centered on emotions,inspiration,and creativity.Instead,it should be contextualized within the framework of post-human and postliterary developments since the latter half of the 20th century.Within this context,contemporary AI literature can be perceived as cyborg literature,harmonizing human and cyborg identities and offering cross-boundary potential in terms of human and machine perspectives,author and reader roles,and language and non-language texts.As a mode of linguistic information processing,AI literature has the potential to significantly expand the conceptual space and expressive forms of literature.
