It seems like a weird question, but other than a couple of users who I recognize on Lemmy, the rest seems to be robotic.

I don’t see a lot of creativity or uniqueness.

Why is that?

    Or the patterns I notice in mythological stories across cultures.

    In a Joseph Campbell kinda way, or a “every culture has a flood myth” kinda way?

      Both.

      Like the common story of the baby of a king being abandoned only to return to power. Often in a river.

      The story follows the beats and structure of the hero’s journey. (Similarly theres other structures that are commonly repeated) but also the very story is the same.

        Jung noticed this a century ago.

        In a creative writing class we were told there are no new stories. How they’re put together and dressed up is a little different, but ultimately it’s all been done.
