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\n\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\n","brand":"Mark Amerika","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43573236203702,"sku":"9781503631700","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781503631700_c3302616-0666-40d9-9dd7-a468da618342.jpg?v=1727357351","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/my-life-as-an-artificial-creative-intelligence-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
