Readings II: Expressive AI && Hills Like White Elephants

I found the paper on “expressive AI” very interesting, specifically in establishing a difference between producing an AI to accurately model a behavior and producing an AI as a cultural artifact. A cartoon face doesn’t get judged on realism, but instead is acknowledged to be a stylized caricature. In that same way, an AI can certainly be “stylized “and used as a cultural artifact.

 

I liked Hills Like White Elephants because it was straightforward and Hemingway stuck to telling exactly what was going on so that the reader could act as if observing in person and make of it what they will, interacting with the narrative by reflecting their own background on their interpretation.
