Artificial Intelligence and the Creativity of Urdu Literature: Causes and influencing Factors

Abstract

Literature stands as a timeless testament to human creativity, weaving imagination, emotion, and intellect into narratives that shape and reflect societies. At the heart of literary expression lies the creative impulse—an intuitive force that transforms lived experiences into poetic thought, metaphors, and meaningful stories. In the contemporary era, this creative landscape is witnessing a profound transformation with the rise of artificial intelligence. AI is not only altering the way research is conducted but is also influencing the methods through which literature is produced, analyzed, and interpreted. Applications like ChatGPT, Grammarly, Quillbot, and Jasper are aiding tools in generating content, refining language, and exploring stylistic possibilities, thereby reshaping the role of the human author. These tools, while enhancing productivity and expanding access to language and knowledge, also pose critical questions regarding originality, authorship, and creative authenticity. On one hand, AI empowers researchers and writers with unprecedented speed and precision; on the other, it risks homogenizing thought and replacing nuanced human insight with algorithmic patterns. The delicate balance between embracing innovation and preserving the soul of literary creativity is now at the center of scholarly and artistic debates. As literature evolves in dialogue with technology, the essence of human expression continues to search for new ways to assert itself in a digitized world.This research paper aims to explore the causes and factors influencing the creativity of Urdu literature in the context of the growing impact of artificial intelligence. It will examine how AI is generating new possibilities in literary expression, style, and content creation.
