I'll defer to you on oral poetics but it's worth stressing that this is a completely wrong characterization of how LLMs work.
Let's start with the lll m side of things. I wrote about l lms and homer years ago in neos kosmos.
An l l m can combine and recombine extant forms and information , but it eventually degrades into slop because it cannot produce new information based on embodied experience

I am sorry. This is techno-obscurantist nonsense thst would be risible if it were not absolutely dangerous.
It is a fundamental misrepresentation of both oral poetics and the creative arts

1. A quick thread to summarize my and Cosma's new piece on LLMs as Homeric songs at the Economist. The piece has its origins in bactra.org/weblog/feral... and this fantastic article by Murray Shanahan et al, which we couldn't link as we would have liked www.nature.com/articles/s41...
AI is a technological version of the Homeric songs
Its agents are more than stochastic parrots and stranger than machine gods, write Henry Farrell and Cosma Shalizi

People are talking about the Poetics Pgm @ the University of Buffalo again today. It’s important to remember how much creative experimentation has emerged from Buffalo and other public universities…
In class on Tues we'll talk a bit abt the history of Tolstoy College, the anarchist college @ Buffalo. I planned to offer some context re: UB's progressivism in media studies, xprmental 🎞️ + poetics in the 60s + 70s. Learned (belatedly) that Buffalo just eliminated its whole legendary poetics pgm 😭

Sasha Brown is wrong about a lot of things, but not this one: Gore Poetics rules
AL is right about many things and this is one of them: Samir Sirk Morató's Gore Poetics is the horror collection of the year.
I talked this book up in the green room last night, so I'm talking it up here today.
This is it, your horror collection of the year.
