Through a series of intellectual provocations that investigate the creative process across the human-nonhuman spectrum, Amerika critically reflects on whether creativity itself is, at root, a nonhuman information behavior that emerges from an onto-operational presence experiencing an otherworldly aesthetic sensibility. Amerika engages with his cyberpunk imagination to simultaneously embrace and problematize human-machine collaborations. He draws from jazz performance, beatnik poetry, Buddhist thought, and surrealism to suggest that his own artificial creative intelligence operates as a finely tuned remix engine continuously training itself to build on the history of avant-garde art and writing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlayful and provocative, \u003ci\u003eMy Life as an Artificial Creative Intelligence\u003c\/i\u003e flips the script on contemporary AI research that attempts to build systems that perform more like humans, instead self-reflexively making a very nontraditional argument about AI's impact on society and its relationship to the cosmos.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46445031948439,"sku":"9781503631076","price":13019.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781503631076.webp?v=1769132529","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/my-life-as-an-artificial-creative-intelligence-a-speculative-fiction-9781503631076","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
