beat that knowledge into their brains

Jill3 Comments

I like my university. Not only do they have Studblogg, they’re running a competition for the best student-produced 20 second YouTube-ready video promoting the University.

From 17th century book factories to AI-generated literature

When I studied literature we mostly read the classics. Great literature, the canon. But that’s not necessarily what most people actually read. What if instead of comparing AI-generated literature to the literary canon, we tried comparing it to super popular and commercial forms of literature instead? Like the folkebøker that […]
