Abstract
This study explores the changing relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and human cognition, highlighting how AI is now seen as a necessary component of everyday life rather than a sci-fi fantasy, especially in literature and language. It investigates how AI is a revolutionary force that is changing human perceptions of reality and creativity. According to the research, AI-generated fiction, like Ross Goodwin's 1 the Road, exemplifies the potential of AI in storytelling by combining algorithmic design with human curation. AI has evolved from its science fantasy origins to become a tool that affects ethics, creativity, and how we see people. The results show that the integration of AI has had a significant impact on mental processes and blurred the lines between human and machine capabilities. This change emphasizes how crucial it is to consider the philosophical and ethical ramifications of AI, particularly as it influences human imagination and future views. The study highlights both AI's creative benefits and intrinsic limitations by looking at algorithmic storytelling from a transhumanist perspective. The study highlights the need for a cautious, thoughtful approach to AI adoption as technology continues to reshape human creativity and cognitive frameworks, making sure ethical considerations steer this revolutionary path. Understanding the dynamic human-AI relationship and its implications for the future of creativity and cognition is fostered by this research.
