Publicly available text-generating engines like ChatGPT make large language models (LLMs) “writers” in their own right. How can we interpret the changing status of the writer in the age of machine learning? What does the success of AI-generated textuality ask us to reconsider, revisit, or reinvent in the context of literary theory and the digital humanities more generally?

"Hard Times" was a frequent Victorian refrain, perhaps most famously in the title of Charles Dickens’s 1854 novel but also in Stephen Foster’s 1854 song "Hard Times Come Again No More"; in the title of Hubert von Herkomer’s 1885 painting; and throughout the century as an experience of socioeconomic difficulties, political oppression, and personal suffering.

Intro
In recent years, there has been a flurry of new interest in the work of Mina Loy (1882-1966) resulting in a steady output of monographs, new translations, and republications that present Loy from increasingly diverse perspectives. As Sarah Hayden writes in the introduction to the republication of Insel (2014) ‘there have been many Loys; more are emerging’.
