Writing With and About AI
We will take up questions that are practical (How do large language models like ChatGPT and Gemini work? How can and should we use them?), philosophical (How do we sort out what is and isn’t human about writing? What is creativity? What is ethical?) and historical (How do emerging AI tools fit within the 5000-year history of writing? What does that history suggest about where writing is going?). Our reading will be intense and sustained; everyone will take part in class discussions (this is a seminar, not a lecture) and occasionally lead discussion. Assignments will include weekly reading responses, a collaborative mid-term exam, a mid-term paper, and a final project. No previous experience with AI is required, but authentic curiosity about it is!
