At this point, you've probably heard so much about ChatGPT and language model AI, but can it actually help write a book? How is an AI-written novel really created? Amid all the craze and myths of the recent "AI boom", we chat with Stephen Marche, a novelist who was tasked to create an "AI-generated novel," Death of an Author, (with Pushkin) to really understand the capabilities and limits of language model AI / linguistic AI, and how we should treat this tool.
Stephen Marche is a novelist and essayist. He has written features and essays for The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Atlantic, and many others. He has collaborated with artificial intelligence on the first AI-generated novel reviewed in The New York Times, Death of an Author.
