Czech author Leoš Kyša: AI will soon write better books than most people, fans are already generating sequels to his series
Writer Leoš Kyša predicts that within a few years or months, AI will write books better than 80 % of human output. According to him, fans are already using AI to generate unofficial sequels to his book series.
Czech writer Leoš Kyša (who also writes under the pseudonym František Kotleta), the author of bestsellers such as Syndikát and Nástupci, predicts in an interview with CzechCrunch that within a few years or months, artificial intelligence will write books of higher quality than 80 percent of current human output. According to him, some fans are already using AI to create their own sequels to his book series without his permission.
Kyša expects that in the future, an "author" AI will emerge that writes a book, while other AI agents acting as testers and editors review and improve the text, which he believes will lead to the rapid creation of high-quality works. He also expects that people will continue to want to read books written by humans, while also wanting AI to generate their own customized stories. He identifies sci-fi and fantasy as genres in which he believes humans will remain competitive with AI for longer, because, unlike more formulaic genres, they demand more dedicated work from the author.
However, he does not want to entrust his own writing to AI — he defines himself as a writer for whom the act of writing is an essential part of his identity. He believes that exceptional people with exceptional stories can beat the competition from AI. According to him, these concerns are less about the demise of human creativity because of AI and more about frustration in society, especially among young people, that their creativity will no longer be needed.
Why it matters
This is one author's personal prediction and experience, rather than a substantiated market or technological benchmark — but it shows that readers are already using text generation tools in practice to create unauthorized content based on existing book series, which is relevant to authors and publishers concerned with protecting their works, as well as to readers considering their own experiments with AI sequels to favorite books.
Two audiences, two different impacts
What this means
For individuals
For writers and storytellers, this means that readers already routinely use AI to generate their own sequels to favorite books, without the author having to agree to it or know about it.
More practical updates →For a business
According to the author, readers are already using AI to create unauthorized sequels to his book series, suggesting a risk for publishers and authors in protecting the intellectual property of popular franchises and fictional worlds, without this constituting a formal legal dispute.
