Narrative generation is much more than GPT: a look at Story Machines
How did computers become writers?
Main content
In this talk Rafael Pérez y Pérez, Professor II in the Center for Digital Narrative, will talk about his book Story Machines: how computers have become creative writers, co-authored with Mike Sharples. He will also present some of his current research.
In Story Machines, two pioneers of creative artificial intelligence explore the design and impact of AI story generators. The book covers three themes: language generators that compose coherent text, storyworlds with believable characters, and AI models of human storytellers. Providing examples of story machines through the ages, it covers the history, recent developments, and future implications of automated story generation.
