Lea Bishop (Yale U Yale Information Society Project) has posted “Generative” on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
To expand our collective imagination about the potential, limits, and risks of artificial intelligence, we cannot simply read about it. We must experience it first-hand. This premise makes Generative different from anything else you have read about artificial intelligence.
In an entertaining and thought-provoking package, Generative departs from the mainstream narratives of hype and fear to challenge readers’ assumptions about what ChatGPT and its cousins can (and cannot) do. Through a series of playful Socratic dialogues with actual AI chatbots, Generative vividly demonstrates the technology’s creative power.
Readers will come away with new insights on topics like plagiarism, critical thinking, innovation, education, and the future of artificial intelligence. Like the original Dialogues of Socrates and Plato, Generative’s powerful model of critical inquiry will inspire readers to question our assumptions about artificial intelligence… and everything else.
