Read the article and think about the importance of stories and the development of artificial intelligence (AI).

Three key points for students to consider while reading:

1. Human-Centric Perspective: The text examines how humans inherently gravitate towards storytelling and how stories play a crucial role in various aspects of human life, including persuasion, cognition, and social interaction.

2. Integration of Stories in AI: It discusses the evolving concept of narrative intelligence in AI research, suggesting that machines could benefit from understanding and generating stories to better interact with humans and acquire social norms and values.

3. Complexity of Intelligence: The text raises questions about the nature of intelligence, cautioning against defining it solely based on human attributes. It highlights the potential limitations of AI lacking narrative intelligence and suggests that understanding and constructing stories may be a fundamental aspect of human intelligence.
