Purpose of reseach is to conduct a comparative analysis of texts generated by an artificial intelligence system in the process of processing source text in natural language and counter texts that are the result of human understanding of the source literary text. Methods. To achieve the goal and objectives of the study, the author used an experimental technique to conduct a comparative analysis of the denotational structures of counter texts. Participants in the experiment (7 4th year students of the Faculty of Additional Education “Translator in the field of professional communications”, 3 associate professors of the Department of Foreign Languages of South- West State University) assessed the success of recreating the semantic structure of the text of 10 counter texts of different nature - generated by AI and humans. Results. The results of the experiment indicate that the completeness of the semantic content of the generated text does not depend on the structure of the source text. Modern methods of semantic text processing by an AI system make it possible to obtain the output of full-fledged text works created taking into account the rules and norms of natural language. AI systems successfully recreate the denotational structure of the text and reconstruct the syntactic structure. Conclusion. Access to large databases allows you to train a neural network on large text corpora, which results in an increase in the accuracy and variability of the lexical units and constructs used. The accuracy of conveying the semantic content of the text varies. It depends on the degree of text compression - the higher it is, the less accuracy can be, because the neural network is unable to classify denotational connections for relevance to the underlying meaning. The degree of accuracy in conveying semantic content is determined by the success / failure of understanding the deep hidden meaning, which is determined by the understanding of the linguistic and extralinguistic context. The ability to recognize the situation model recreated in the source text is the key to understanding the hidden meaning. The AI system can recreate the surface denotational structure of the text quite correctly and accurately, but is not able to construct a model of the situation at this stage of development.
