A Pusan National University study by Assistant Professor Ji Eun Hong analyzes the 2016 science fiction novel *Ada* by Antoine Bello, which explores creativity in machines through an AI character capable of writing literary works. The novel was published in a year when DeepMind’s AlphaGo outsmarted world Go champion Lee Sedol. Dr. Hong’s analysis, made available online on January 24, 2025, and published in *French Forum*, Volume 50, Issue 1, in September 2025, examines whether AI can be truly creative. In the novel, the AI Ada writes so convincingly that she wins a Pulitzer Prize. Dr. Hong notes that Ada starts by mimicking existing styles—what Aristotle called mimesis—and then creates seemingly original works rapidly. The research considers perspectives from Walter Benjamin on “technical reproducibility,” Henri Bergson on the introspective nature of human creativity, and Jacques Derrida’s concept of différance. Ada’s work faces criticism for lacking historical context and subversion, yet she adds humor and combines existing works innovatively, a trademark of “association theory” in AI, revealing a confrontation between traditional and new creativity.
