Rather, in highly original and effervescent prose with a generous dose of wit, Yi Tenen asks us to read past the artifice—to better perceive the mechanics of collaborative work. Something as simple as a spell-checker or a grammar-correction tool embedded in every word processor represents the culmination of a shared human effort, spanning centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSmart tools, like dictionaries and grammar books, have always accompanied the act of writing, thinking, and communicating. That these paper machines are now automated does not bring them to life. Nor can we cede agency over the creative process. With its masterful blend of history, technology, and philosophy, Yi Tenen's work ultimately urges us to view AI as a matter of labour history, celebrating the long-standing cooperation between authors and engineers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362787508460,"sku":"9781324105053","price":22.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/11734923482659.jpg?v=1772900818"},{"product_id":"literary-theory-for-robots-by-dennis-yi-tenen-9780393882186","title":"Literary Theory for Robots","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChatbots are sure to have a significant impact on the way we read, write, and think.
