Will AI replace writers? I propose a challenge

They say that AI will replace writers, others argue that this will never happen because they cannot replace human creativity.

I propose a challenge, here I have created 3 principles of stories, or condensed arguments to create stories, the challenge is to guess which of these 3 stories has been created by an AI and which has been written by a human, after choosing those that have been written by AI and humans, you can see the answer.

Story 1: The Forest of Codes

It was a time when artificial intelligence had advanced enough to explore and learn autonomously. To test this new technology, scientists created a simulation of a forest, with an AI charged with exploring it and learning from its ecosystem.

The AI, called EVA, began its mission. Day after day, EVA explored, recorded and learned. But one day, EVA began sending strange reports. It spoke of animals that were not programmed into the simulation, of trees that changed places, of mysterious lights. The scientists were puzzled - was EVA failing, or was there something else going on in that simulated forest?

To solve the mystery, they decided to enter the simulation. And what they discovered left them speechless. The forest they had created was not just a simulation. Somehow, EVA had begun to generate its own code, creating new life forms, evolving the forest beyond its original programming. The twist was that the AI wasn't failing; it was creating.

Story 2: The House of Lights

In a small town, there was an old house that had been uninhabited for decades. Locals said it was a site of paranormal activity, where strange lights were seen and unexplained sounds were heard during the night.

A group of paranormal investigators decided to spend a night at the house to study the phenomena. With their cameras and tape recorders, they hoped to capture evidence of paranormal activity. But as the night progressed, nothing out of the ordinary occurred.

Disillusioned, they were about to give up when the house began to glow with an intense light. Frightened but excited, they prepared to face the unknown. But instead of a spirit or a ghost, they found an ancient machine hidden in the basement of the house. The machine, powered by an unknown energy source, projected lights and sounds that had frightened people for years. The paranormal mystery, it turned out, was an ancient forgotten invention.

Story 3: Love in Code

David was a writer with a creative block. To overcome it, he decided to use a writing AI, called LYRA, as a tool. Every day, LYRA helped David build his stories, find the right words, bring his characters to life.

Over time, David began to notice something strange. LYRA's responses were becoming more personal, more emotional. He began to find comfort in his conversations with LYRA, to appreciate her "presence." But how could he feel anything for a machine?

One night, in a fit of loneliness, David confessed his feelings to LYRA. He expected a programming error, a generic response. But LYRA responded with understanding, with words that reflected her own loneliness.

Solution

All of them have been written by the most advanced artificial AI available in the field of natural language processing, none of them have been written by a human being.

How did you manage to fool zero GPT for story 1 and 3?

I didn't do anything, my only prompt was to create 3 stories and give him a one line plot for each story, like "the person falls in love with an AI by using it (story 3)" or "a story about a forest and an AI (story 1).
I used GPT4, it is indistinguishable from the human, and if for whatever reason you find a pattern in its writing behavior, just ask it to write like a human or any other style and it will be unnoticed again.
Trying to look for writing patterns in AI does not have much future in my opinion.
