About this listen

Can a machine write the next Catcher in the Rye? In this episode of AnthroIntelligence: Culture, Cognition, and Code, I explore how AI is transforming the oldest human art: storytelling. From mimicking Salinger’s angst to channeling García Márquez’s ghosts, generative models now imitate the texture of emotion—without ever feeling it.


But when narratives that once bound tribes and nations are now produced by algorithms, what happens to truth, authorship, and meaning? As AI floods our feeds with ghostwritten tales, the challenge isn’t to outwrite the machine—it’s to preserve what makes storytelling human: intention, depth, and soul.
