MLA 2024: Large Language Models and the Writer

updated: 
Wednesday, February 22, 2023 - 11:21am
MLA TC Digital Humanities Executive Forum
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, March 21, 2023

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?

 

This panel is a guaranteed panel, sponsored by the TC Digital Humanities executive forum for the 2024 MLA conference in Philadelphia (January 4-7).

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.
