ART-ificial: Artists on AI Collaboration Speaker Series

Artificial Intelligence in the Creative Writing Classroom. With the release of chat-GPT, many authors and artists have had a wide range of emotional responses, everything from abject horror to willful indifference to glee as we stare down something strange and new. Now that chat-GPT can write a short story, a poem, a response paper, how do we work with (and not against) student interest in these new tools? How can we use artificial intelligence in our classrooms in an artistically meritorious and ethical way? Join Elissa Washuta and A.E. Osworth as they demonstrate two tried-and-tested creative writing lessons featuring both language model text generation and image generation.
