Abstract: The rise of artificial intelligence literature signifies a paradigmatic shift in the control structure of literary creation, moving from a centralized subject toward a distributed system. The absolute control traditionally held by human authors, after transitioning through ergodic literary forms such as hypertext and cybertext, has ultimately evolved into a distributed control within “human-machine collaborative writing”: humans set the generative framework via prompts, while algorithms enact real-time writing along specific pathways. Creation thus becomes a labyrinthine machine whose entrance is defined by humans and whose paths are generated by artificial intelligence, with control continuously circulating between human intention and machine computation. This control structure secures the manageability of the text generation while simultaneously containing the potential for structural loss of control. It is precisely within this dialectical movement between control and loss of control that creation manifests as an interactive practice between humans and machines—through continuous dialogue, human and machine jointly explore the writing journey from chaos to order, revealing how literariness is reconfigured in a technological context, while also propelling the literary paradigm from the traditional “human literature” toward “post-human literature.”

摘要： AI文学的兴起,标志着文学创作的控制结构正在从中心化主体向分布式系统转变。传统作者的绝对控制权,经由超文本、赛博文本等遍历文学形式的过渡,演变为“人机协同写作”中的分布式控制：人类通过提示词生成框架,算法则在具体路径上进行即时编写。创作因而成为一座入口由人设定、路径由AI生成的迷宫机器,控制权在人类意图与机器计算之间持续流转。这一控制结构保障了文本生成的可控性,又蕴含着结构性的失控可能。在受控与失控的辩证运动中,创作呈现为人与机器的交互实践——人类与机器通过持续对话,共同探索从混沌到有序的写作历程,揭示文学性如何在技术语境中被重新配置,同时也推动文学范式从传统的“人的文学”向“后人类文学”迈进。
