Lifecycle of Writing Subjects: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Large Language Models
Thursday, February 1, 2024

Guest lecturer: Lauren Goodlad, professor of English and Comparative Literature at Rutgers University, and a faculty affiliate of the Center for Cultural Analysis (CCA), the Rutgers British Studies Center and the Rutgers Center for Cognitive Science.

Goodlad's talk was titled, "Lifecycle of Writing Subjects: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Large Language Models," and riffed off of Ted Chiang's novella The Lifecycle of Software Objects. She used this book as a jumping-off point for talking about what "Generative AI" may portend for writing and how Chiang, who has written a lot on this topic, anticipates the key issues via a notion of experience.
