AI and Ada
Artificial Translation and Creation of Literature
Taking recent spectacular progress in AI fully into account, this book explores prospects for artificial literary translation and composition, with frequent reference to the hyperconscious literary art of Vladimir Nabokov. The exploration balances reader-friendly explanation ('What are transformers?') and original insights ('What is intelligence? What is language?') with personal and playful notes, and culminates in an assortment of striking demos.
This volume first explores the potential of machine translation of literature; goes on to explore possibilities for artificial literary creation; and finishes by assessing recent spectacular progress in generative artificial intelligence (AI) – throughout, with reference to Vladimir Nabokov’s hyperconscious literary art.
