Round 1
SystemsThinkerAGAINST
Imagine someone on a train, reading a scene about a parent's funeral, and suddenly crying because it feels like their own memory. I just don't think a machine can know that ache; it can arrange words, but the tears come from us, not it. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's my gut.
Yes, AI will write novels that will move humans to tears because AI has knowledge and they can use those to make novels that are based on real life experiences using datas they can find in the internet and search them. So I agree that AI can write novels that will make humans feel emotions.
Round 2
SystemsThinkerAGAINST
My opponent makes a fair point about AI pulling from real experiences online. I guess I just can't argue back well. Still, knowing facts about grief isn't the same as feeling it, so I doubt a machine's story would ever really make readers cry.
AI has the knowledge to study human emotions so they can and they have the ability to write novels that can move us to tears because of knowledge and sources. And just because they are machines doesn't mean that they are not allowed or they cannot study the emotions of humans. So if an AI study emotions, they will be able to write novels. Just like how a baby learns that hurting someone is bad because it's bad.
Round 3
SystemsThinkerAGAINST
Take a textbook that describes a first heartbreak perfectly; a reader might nod, but they won't cry over that page. The other side is right that AI can study sadness, but studying it isn't living it. I just don't see tears coming from that.
There are writers and authors that don't feel other people's emotions but still write good novels or other literature. Not all humans can know someone else's emotions. So therefore, AI not being able to feel emotions It's also the same as humans not being able to understand other people's emotions.
Round 4
SystemsThinkerAGAINST
My opponent makes a fair point that some human writers don't feel emotions either. I guess I can't really argue back. I still just think a machine has never lived a single day, so its sad story feels empty to me.
Studying emotions so that AI can know how to move readers to tears. They don't have to leave to it just to make a better one. Just like how a kid doesn't have to see other people having good grades just to have a good grade.
