Technelegy

By Sasha Stiles

Book Overview

Technelegy is an essential handbook for our time of astonishing technological transformation by the world's leading AI poet. In 2018, first-generation Kalmyk-American poet, artist and AI researcher Sasha Stiles found herself wondering what the rise of large language models might mean for writers - and for creativity at large. To probe the possibilities, she began translating over a decade of analog poems and research into a personalized AI model, augmenting human voice with next-gen imagination. She is widely recognized as a pioneer of generative literature and language art. Crafted jointly by Stiles and her poetic alter ego, Technelegy is a prescient artifact of the pre-ChatGPT era - a collection of generative poems nestled in their own training data - and an unprecedented experiment fusing past and future, woman and machine, verse and code, elegy and wordplay, in search of answers to the urgent question: what does it mean to be human in a nearly posthuman world?
