The process of removing all creativity from literature and other art forms seems somewhat counterproductive in my mind. While I would not argue that an uncreative writing cannot be considered to be "literature" or "writing" I think that it loses a lot of value. This involves a probable loss of interest from a large amount of people. Many of these uncreative works, in my opinion, are pretty boring to read, which is essentially of the purpose of its lack of creativity. Additionally, if one disagrees with Goldsmith's premise that creativity is essentially dead, writing in this fashion does not allow for new ideas to be brought about by writers.
