Abstract

Abstract

Computational creativity, as editors Montfort and Bertram show in OUTPUT, stretches from the 1950s to the present. Where the anthology ends, 2023, coincides with the public release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT product. Several magazines emerged less than a year after ChatGPT’s release that deal directly with computer- and AI-generated texts, and other recent periodicals invite Game Poems, HTML (Taper), Scrollimation, Instapoetry (FilterZine), only AI work to be judged by AI (The Fathoms) and onwards. What do we make of all these publications? What do this bunch of small, maybe ambitious, maybe anxious, collaborations of electronic literature editors and artists mean? How much does “AI” really take up space in these magazines, or is the explosion of AI just making space for computer-assisted or digital or e-literatures more broadly? The goal of this panel is to take a snapshot of the moment in Electronic Literature’s periodicals and wonder: instead of what we can take away (it may be too soon for that), what’s being brought to the table?
