Preliminary notes for the June issue of Literaturkritik.de
From the editors of Literaturkritik.de
At least since the beginning of the year, AI skills have been on everyone’s lips. Introduced the trigger chatbot version chat In November 2022, he can produce the most diverse type of text on demand, providing summaries and providing accurate and understandable information and explanations on almost any topic. The linguistic sophistication of his answers, which approached human phrasing skills, stunned the world. The program has it now updates Experienced, making it more powerful, Google hastened it cold It launched its own chatbot based on artificial intelligence and software that not only texts, but also the pictures or music Can create independently or in (scientific reseach during Abstracts and target references It helps, just sprouting from the ground. Reason enough for us to take a closer look at current developments and their relevance to the literature.
In particular, software that is able to generate texts with such quality that they can be mistaken for human products not only has an impact on the production of functional texts, but is also very likely to influence literature and literary criticism. Where computers can generate error-free, coherent and meaningful texts on their own, the question arises of the meaning of all those who professionally deal with literary products. Will literature (with participation) be written by AI in the future? Can authors of literary texts finally be replaced by software? Will literature change radically as a result of these developments? Will auditing and editing offices still need people? And will the offending reviewers also become obsolete?
We ask ourselves these and other questions in the June issue of Spotlight Literaturkritik.de: Literature and Artificial Intelligence. That’s why we let ChatGPT talk about itself in an “interview” and ask the AI about the relevance of current developments in literature and literary criticism. Vanessa Frank also spoke to French author Marie Daroussek about literature and technology. And as an experiment, we took a closer look at an AI-generated review and its strengths and weaknesses.
As usual, there is also a wide range of reviews in the fields of literature, reality, and science. The editors wish you stimulating reading on sunny summer days.
