呈现合作伙伴：自动化之后，人工智能将成为全新的叙事媒介分享至社交平台Eliot PeperEliot Peper是Tolan故事部门的负责人，同时也是12部畅销小说的作者，最新作品为《Ensorcelled》。叙事的基本工具，如人物和情节，是永恒的，但技术决定了故事的形式。像《奥德赛》这样的史诗之所以能够流传，是因为诗歌本身就是一种技术：韵律、重复的修饰语和程式化的短语有助于从活记忆中进行重组。当人类发明新技术时，叙事者需要时间和实验来探索新的可能性，并找出故事可以采取的新形式。当电影摄像机和放映机在19世纪末出现时，人们使用静态摄像机拍摄舞台剧，并创造日常场景的“动画照片”。但几年之内，新的剪辑技术、特写镜头、摄像机运动和特效被用来创造一个连贯的视觉故事，这就是我们今天所认识的现代电影。现在，我们正处于人工智能的“动画照片”阶段。人们正在用它来使人物栩栩如生，探索互动小说，并生成整个世界，但这些只是笨拙的初步尝试。未来的历史学家将回顾这些早期努力，就像我们现在观看那些最初的“动画照片”时所感到的轻微困惑一样。人工智能的“大片”——一种充分利用人工智能叙事潜力、没有它就无法存在的小说格式——会是什么样子呢？我迫不及待地想要知道答案。此前发表在EveryAI上，不是工具——它是一种全新的叙事媒介

Presenting partnersAfter automation: AI will be a whole new storytelling mediumShare on socialEliot PeperEliot Peper is the head of story at Tolan and the bestselling author of 12 novels, including, most recently, Ensorcelled.The fundamental tools of storytelling like character and plot are timeless, but technology governs the shape stories take. Epic poems like the Odyssey survived because the poetry itself was a technology: Meter, repeated epithets, and formulaic phrases aided recomposition from living memory.When humans invent new technologies, it takes time and experimentation for storytellers to explore the new affordances and figure out what new shapes stories can take. When motion picture cameras and projectors arrived in the late 19th century, people used static cameras to film stage plays and create "animated photographs" of everyday scenes. But within a few years, new editing techniques, close-ups, camera motion, and special effects were used to create a cohesive visual story that we'd recognize as a modern feature film.Right now, we're in the "animated photographs" stage of AI. People are using it to bring characters to life, explore interactive fiction, and generate entire worlds, but these are awkward first steps. Future historians will look back on these early efforts with the same mild bemusement we feel when watching those first "animated photographs." What will the AI equivalent of a blockbuster movie—a novel format that makes the most of AI's narrative potential and couldn't exist without it—look like?I can't wait to find out.Previously published on EveryAI Isn’t Only a Tool—It’s a Whole New Storytelling Medium
