  Since the birth of artificial intelligence 70 years ago, attempts at literary
"creation" with computers are present in the course of technological
development, creating what one might call "artificial intelligence literature"
(AI literature). Evolving from "textual experiments" conducted by technologists
to "experimental texts" that explore the possibilities of conceptions of
literature, AI literature integrates primitive problems including machine
thinking, text generation, and machine creativity, which exhibits the two-way
interaction between social ideas and technology. In the early stage, the mutual
support between technological path and artistic ideas turned out to be a
failure, while AI-driven expressive repetitions are made probable in the
contemporary technological context, paving the way for the transformation of AI
literature from proof for technical possibilities to self-verification of
literary value.
