PoetKI – Literatur x Künstliche Intelligenz: Literatur im Zeitalter ihrer technischen Produzierbarkeit

In the organizer's words:

Panel discussion
With Bernhard Dotzler and Simon Roloff
Moderation: Marie Kaiser

The book "(Berlin, Miami)" (2023) by Hannes Bajohr is the first prominent German novel written with an AI. Bajohr fed various input texts into an artificial intelligence and gave it the task of writing a new work based on these templates. Is this way of writing literature an epochal break? In his famous essay "The work of art in the age of its technical reproducibility", Walter Benjamin addressed the question of the reciprocity of technological development, aesthetic perception, social change and art production as early as the 1930s. In his view, technology creates new paths of social and artistic practice, destroys old ones, changes perception and thus has an effect back on what is produced. Will AI also change "the concept of art in the most magical way"? And if so, how? How does artificial intelligence challenge the conventional concept of literature? Can it reflect the digital age in a special way? Or is it simply a technical gimmick?
