New AI Benchmark Reveals High Hallucination Rates in Top Models

AI Overcomes Language Barriers: The Definition of Humanity Being Rewritten

Recent revolutionary developments in artificial intelligence technologies are prompting a reevaluation of fundamental concepts humanity has been trying to define for thousands of years. According to the definition by the Turkish Language Association, a human is characterized as a being "with the ability to think and speak, capable of comprehending the universe as a whole." However, today's advanced language models are pushing the boundaries of this definition.

Throughout human history, humans have managed to survive and progress by struggling with nature, animals, and environmental conditions. This progress has encompassed not only physical but also mental and societal development. Now, artificial intelligence is advancing at an incredible pace in mimicking these mental abilities thought to be unique to humans.

Existential Crisis in Creative Industries

The capacity of chatbots to write a full-length book before a lunch break creates a concerning competitive environment for human authors. Writing processes that traditionally took months, even years, have been reduced to hours by artificial intelligence. This situation is triggering a deep existential crisis in the literary world.

As noted in the TDV Islamic Encyclopedia, the concept of "bashar" (mankind) refers to the human community, with each member of this species called a human. However, AI systems are radically transforming the production methods of human society. According to the Quran, a human is a being that progresses from bashariyyah to adamiyyah, and ascends from adamiyyah to insaniyyah. So, where does artificial intelligence stand in this progression process?

"Human or Not" Game and the Humanity Test

Games like 'Human or Not,' which have become popular on the internet, force users to guess whether the entity they are interacting with is a real human or advanced language models like GPT-5, Claude. What's surprising is that most users struggle to make this distinction. AI no longer just provides simple answers; it can mimic human emotions, sense of humor, and creative thought.

• Language models mimic human speech patterns near-perfectly
• Complete creative writing processes within hours
• Can analyze different writing styles and literary genres
• Understand cultural references and contextual cues

How Unique is Human Uniqueness?

While in Arabic, bashar means "the skin covering the human body," the concept of insan (human) is emphasized in twenty-six verses in the Quran. This deep cultural and religious context goes beyond biological features when defining a human. However, artificial intelligence is increasing its capacity to simulate these abstract concepts thought to be unique to humans every day.

The greatest advantage of human authors against AI may be their ability to draw from real experiences, emotional depth, and existential questioning. Throughout history, humanity's struggle with nature and the environment has provided literary works with a profound perspective. Artificial intelligence, however, still lacks such real experiences.

The Future Literary World

With the proliferation of AI-assisted writing tools, the literary world is entering a new era. Instead of rejecting technology, human authors are seeking ways to use it as a tool to enrich their creative processes. While some authors use AI for idea generation, language checking, and research processes, others are producing works entirely generated by artificial intelligence.

In conclusion, the relationship between artificial intelligence and human creativity is transforming into a much more complex interaction than simple competition. Humanity is rediscovering its own essence, which it has been trying to define for thousands of years, through the technologies it has created. The rapid production capacity of chatbots may encourage human authors to produce deeper, more original, and more human works. This technological revolution is not the end of human creativity.
