Non-Creative Writings of AI: Algorithmic Variables and Textual Reimaginations in Los Campos Electromagneticos by Jorge Carrión

Abstract

This article explores the link between creativity and artificial intelligence in the cultural landscape of collaborative productions between human and artificial authors. It proposes a re-signifying exploration of the term creativity and its peculiarities within the proliferation of digital culture, drawing from Kenneth Goldsmith's concept of “uncreative writing” (2015). From this perspective, the text Los Campos Electromagnéticos by Jorge Carrión (2023), co-created with Taller Estampa and GPT-2 and 3, is examined. In the analysis, we propose a reassessment of the creative act as an exclusively anthropocentric structure, and the errors, hallucinations, fictions, and mirrors generated by artificial intelligence writing are valued as an algorithmic form of textual reimagination.
