  • We will briefly go back to our discussion about AI Chatbots and talk about Stanford Literary Lab's "distant reading" model of processing literary texts. Read the articles from New York Times that have been uploaded in the above section (the week of 20 & 21 Feb). Please focus on the article on "Distant Reading" and the one about authors suing OpenAI. If you have time, glimpse through the one ond Chatbots hallucinating.

    For the ensuing discussion on prose, think about how you would define the term. We will talk about the development of the genre and the relevant literary forms, and introduce oursleves to the basics of narratology.
