Why aren't the top fiction writers novels written by computer software AI?
Writing and developing fictional stories or adventures is a human endeavor that requires expressing human experiences and interpretation by other humans.
Writing and telling stories is an art.
When I make tools, I make them for humans, not for computers. Even my NPC AI pieces require interpretation.
Interpretation is the one main thing that computers cannot fabricate very well.
Interpretation is explaining or telling the meaning of something else. It is elucidating and appreciating something in light of individual belief or judgment. Interpretation is apprehending and representing by art, illustrations, or sounds.
Humans experience many things in life. Common experiences form a basis of common language. Different experiences form a basis of variations. Because of fiction writing involves both common language and personal language, the interpretation of fiction words involves both common translation and, probably more important, variations translating into subjective meaning.
In short, top fiction writers use universal language and experience to create easily interpreted, but interpreted meaning individually into a unique story world by the reader, observer, or participant.
For example, lets look at Stephen King's horror novel "It".
"It", the novel, was very popular when I was in high school. This was long before the TV series or movies.
Although popular because of common universal language and expressions, every instance of the interpretation of "It" the novel before any movie, TV series, or graphic novel was entirely subjective and resulted in each individual reader's interpretation of King's words. Every instance in each person had a very unique subjective version of "Pennywise the Dancing Clown." The first novel did not have any pictures, sounds, nor music to create the fictional world, so everyone interpreted the words written in each person's own manner.
Why do I focus on interpretation rather than objective details?
Because with interpretation of meaning, the fictional world opens up to limitless interpretations of details and their meaning. If I were to focus on trying to create objective minutely detailed data, then doing so would be extremely finite.
