Writers, publishers, readers! In a Book Festival WORLD EXCLUSIVE, join us for a product launch like no other. Endowed with game-changing generative technology, our new machine promises to revolutionise the literary world. Deadlines, writer’s block, and burnout will be relics of the past. Imagine amplifying your literary outputs tenfold, a hundredfold — with no extra effort! Be part of history. Be there when the future of writing begins.
Human Verses Machine is a performative intervention developed as part of Pip Thornton's BRAID Fellowship project Writing the Wrongs of AI. Designed by Ray Interactive with the help of the WWAI participants, Human Verses Machine invites writers and readers to ask: who truly benefits from the current AI explosion? A post-performance panel discussion will delve deeper into the ethical, practical, and existential issues faced by the publishing industry in an age of AI.
In this special event Pip Thornton is joined by Camilla Grudova, Jan Rutherford, and Burkhard Schafer.
This project is funded by the Bridging Responsible AI Divides (BRAID) programme with funds received from the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
