In an era dominated by artificial intelligence (AI), questions of originality, authorship, and creativity have become central to literary discourse. This paper explores the tension between AI-generated content and traditional notions of literary originality. It investigates how machine-generated texts challenge the humanistic ideals of authorship, creativity, and the unique voice, and whether this shift signals the "death" of originality or a transformation of its meaning. Drawing on literary theory, contemporary examples, and philosophical debates, this paper critically assesses AI's role in reshaping literary production and reception. By the mixing of poststructuralist idea with the concept of contemporary digital practice, this study provides insights on the decline of the meaning of authorship and the cultural value of art in an age where anyone can create anything under their fingertips. The study concentrates on how AI distracts the traditional ideas of creativity, ownership and the originality using the poststructuralist theory proposed by Roland Barthes particularly the concept of "death of the author."
