Secondly, where do you draw the line? This weird division between tool aiding expression and expression itself seems perfectly arbitrary to me. Who says spell checks don't have an effect on expression?

Just as I predicted: "human authored" certificates are planned. www.theverge.com/news/602918/...

Yet: hannesbajohr.de/wp-content/u...
"Once it is possible to suspect that a text might have been generated by a machine rather than written by a human, no certificate or law can extinguish that doubt."

Ich freue mich sehr über diese Rezension von Carolin Führer über "(Berlin, Miami)" und "Schreiben in Distanz." Auch, weil sie darin den für mich neuen aber produktiven Begriff des "postkonventionelles Erzählens" prägt.

This is a stupid, if not cruel take.

Wer sich gefragt hat, wo das lang angekündigte Buch "Digitale Literatur zur Einführung" bleibt - wir sitzen an den Korrekturen. Es erscheint im Herbst bei Junius (hier das Kapitel zu Plattformen als "sozioökonomischer Materialität")

Looking forward to my first seminar at Berkeley - “Literary AI: Algorithmic Literature from the 1950s to ChatGPT”
Course description: "What is literature in the age of ChatGPT? How does poetry change when writing has been automated? And when any text you read could be produced by an artificial intelligence, does the difference between human and machine writing still make sense? In this course, we explore the impact of the most recent large language models on how literature is made and read today, and discover the history of computerized writing from the early experiments of the 1950s to today’s Al systems. We will ask questions such as: What kind of language does a language model produce? What is meaning for a machine that cannot mean anything? Can computers be authors? And is there anything left for us to write? The course combines the close reading of computer-generated texts and learning to reflect about their theoretical background with creative computational student projects. No prior programming skills are necessary. This class will be taught in English."

For the 100th anniversary of Kafka's death: In 2020, 0x0a (Gregor Weichbrodt and me) published a piece called "The Translation" in "Partisan Hotel" – a take on Kafka's "Metamorphosis" by way of synonymy. Explanation in last image.
