Reading too much AI-generated work will dull our sensors: George Saunders

George Saunders’s literary journey has taken an unexpected turn. Known for his distinctive blend of absurdity and sublime weirdness, the American author finds himself in the midst of a legal battle. Alongside fellow authors, Saunders has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging the unlawful use of their works in training ChatGPT, the company’s chatbot.

A recipient of the 2017 Man Booker Prize for “Lincoln in the Bardo,” his only novel, Saunders has authored nine books. His mastery lies in the realm of contemporary short stories, and his contemplative exploration of the craft of fiction led to the creation of “A Swim in a Pond in the Rain,” a series of essays delving into the intricacies of storytelling.
