Zadałem dwu różnym ogólnodostępnym modelom AI dość banalne pytanie:
Was Stanisław Lem Golden Age or New Wave author?
ChatGPT odpowiedział:
Stanisław Lem is generally considered more of a Golden Age science fiction author rather than a New Wave author, though his work does share some thematic overlap with the New Wave movement.
The Golden Age of Science Fiction (typically associated with the 1930s–1950s) was marked by a focus on hard science, optimistic views of the future, and grand space adventures. Lem, however, was less concerned with action-packed space operas and more focused on philosophical, ethical, and existential questions about humanity's relationship with technology, intelligence, and the universe. His work often explored deep, speculative themes, including the limitations of human knowledge, the nature of intelligence, and the consequences of scientific and technological advancements.
On the other hand, the New Wave movement (1960s–1970s) was more experimental, emphasizing literary techniques, psychological depth, and social commentary. Some of Lem’s works, particularly his later ones, align with the New Wave's interest in exploring the human psyche and societal issues. His novel Solaris (1961), for instance, deals with complex ideas about human consciousness and the nature of communication with alien life, which aligns with New Wave themes of subjective experience and the limits of human understanding.
In short, while Lem's writing style and themes sometimes overlap with New Wave writers, his focus on philosophical and speculative concerns places him squarely in the Golden Age tradition.
Natomiast GPT-4o:
Stanisław Lem is primarily associated with the New Wave movement in science fiction. The New Wave, which emerged in the 1960s, focused on experimental narrative techniques and explored more philosophical and psychological themes compared to earlier science fiction. Lem's works, such as "Solaris" and "The Cyberiad," exemplify these characteristics, delving into complex ideas about consciousness, technology, and the human condition.
While he was contemporaneous with the Golden Age of science fiction, which emphasized adventure and space exploration, Lem's writing often transcended the conventions of that era, making him a key figure in the New Wave movement.
