Renowned author Chetan Bhagat has dismissed fears that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI-based language tools will disrupt the writing profession, particularly in fiction. At the launch of his latest book, 12 Years: My Messed-Up Love Story, Bhagat emphasized that while AI may have technical abilities, it lacks the emotional depth and human experience essential for storytelling. He highlighted that authentic writing stems from personal experiences—feelings of love and loss that machines cannot replicate. Bhagat argued that genuine connections make stories resonate with readers, stating, “People are interested in people.” He challenged the notion that AI could rival creative writing, noting that even if machines imitate emotions, they will still lack authenticity. Bhagat encouraged aspiring writers to focus on observing people and honing their craft despite AI advancements. His new book explores the complicated dynamics between a 33-year-old divorced man and a 21-year-old woman, resonating with both Gen Z and millennials.
