>What do I need to read to ease this?
William Blake's complete works, and Northrop Frye's 'Fearful Symmetry.'

The simple difference between AI and human imagination is that AI is dependent on memory, it can only rearrange words within its dataset. Human imagination is not limited to memory and can create new words, images, and concepts that have never been a part of a memory. AI is memory-constrained and can only access what was and what is known, the human mind has access to genius and inspiration, or the infinite pool of all that is and is not, all that could be and not could be.

AI is a data blending technique that takes past words, tumbles them, and selects them into an arrangement. Or in other words the associationist concept of fancy that is dependent on memory. Whereas the role of the writer proper is:
>To cast off the rotten rags of Memory by Inspiration
>To take off his filthy garments & clothe him with Imagination

William Blake, start with The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, then Milton.
