New Essay in LA Review of Books: The Artifice of AI

April 13, 2024May 5, 2023 by jmb

I just published a feature essay in Los Angeles Review of Books: “The Artifice of AI: Why Machine-Generated Text Seems So Fake.” It’s about how we came to regard machine-generated writing as “fake,” going back to Artificial Versifying, a poetry generating algorithm from the 1670s. (See also my online simulation of this method!)
