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\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","brand":"Mark Amerika","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42959901458550,"sku":"9781503631700","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/my-life-as-an-artificial-creative-intelligence-9781503631700","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
