What does the rise of artificial intelligence mean for creative industries? As digital technologies in language modeling and generative visualization become increasingly sophisticated, questions about originality and the role these emerging tools play in art and culture take crucial positions in not just today's discourse, but for generations to come. In a collection of essays and interviews from Jesse Damiani, I Create Like the Word explores these topics through expert panels of AI developers, artists, researchers, and curators as well as through an ekphrastic process where original art weaves an exchange between human and machine, emphasizing the relationship between prompt and craft.This puts us at an emerging trailhead of poetics that asks us to face the role computers have within our own very ancient, very human traditions: the role of the poet and sublime expression. Support from OpenAI, compelling programming. This title has received a grant from OpenAI, who also provided the underlying generative technology used in the creation of the book, and will be well-positioned for a variety of literary and art world-facing events, including gallery panel discussions, bookfair placements between AWP and the LA Times Festival of Books, and at independent booksellers across the United States. We encourage contributors to participate with us in the release process of I Create Like the Word.

Alexander Reben is an artist whose work probes the inherently human nature of the artificial through a conceptual and process-driven approach. He investigates our relationships with algorithms, automation, and amplification using experimentation, prototyping, absurdity, humor, mischief, and play. The artwork aims to engage the public with complex ideas in technology in an approachable way.Alexander studied social robotics at MIT where he researched human-machine symbiosis. For over a decade, he has been an artist working closely with cutting-edge technology and companies developing artwork spanning multiple mediums. In 2023, Reben was announced as OpenAI's first artist-in-residence following the successful opening of his solo exhibition, AI Am I? at the Crocker Museum in Sacramento, CA. He has exhibited internationally at cultural institutions, galleries, and museums, and is regularly invited to speak at conferences and universities worldwide.
