Summary/Abstract: This study deals with the issues surrounding literature generated by artificial intelligence or artificial neuron networks. The authors first critically analyse the results of these generative projects, including Czech and Slovak ones, comparing poetry and prose text generating projects. The fact that many of the texts generated in this way are practically indistinguishable from those written by humans is understood as a challenge to reassess existing theoretical approaches to the process of generating a literary text and the overall modelling of the literary system. In these contexts the literary system appears to be an autonomous structure that does not need any external input to produce texts, but makes do with its own text material and its transformational recombination.
