‘How do machines read? How do we read machine readings? How do we read with machines?‘ with Laura Knight.
A diagrammatic representation of how I read on the left. “Actors” which affect what/how I read on the right.Entering the required reading (‘From Writing to Prompting: AI as Zeitgeist-Machine’ by Boris Groys (2023)) into ChatGPT, then asking ChatGPT to identify the “actors” in the text. Drawing a representation of that: I tried to mirror how machines read by spreading the identified actors into space on the page, then connecting strongly related actors, and indicating which other actors each actor acts upon. I also took ChatGPT’s definitions of how each actor acts, and added those around the space, parsing each definition wherever there was a comma.
