Between text and algorithm: on the question of artistic forecasting of the transformation of authorship in the age of artificial intelligence

The article discusses the potential of artistic futurology as a method for predicting the collaboration of humans and artificial intelligence in the field of creative work. Particular attention is paid to the narrow application of generative models of artificial intelligence in literary and academic writing, as well as the transformation of the concepts of authorship in the context of “human-machine partnership”. According to scientific and analytical approaches to artistic forecasting, literary texts have a resource of metaphorical and allegorical understanding and can perform the function of forecasting the ethical and anthropological consequences of the integration of text generation technologies into the creative process. The article presents an analysis based on the interpretation of David Morrell’s short story “The Typewriter”, in which the writer anticipates the phenomenon of an artificial author, raising questions about the value of natural intelligence, professional and authorial identity of the writer. The work contributes to the activation of linguistic and cultural reflection of the posthumanistic paradigm, arguing the need to include artistic discourse in interdisciplinary studies of the future with artificial intelligence
