The novel 'The Receipt Horizon,' presented in the episode, was co-written by author Joel Borgen with AI language models. Borgen provided the world-building, characters, and themes, while AI generated much of the text, with ChatGPT Pro doing the heaviest lifting.
“This book is also highly experimental in the sense that Joel co-wrote it with ChatGPT and Claude.”
“He imagined the world, created the characters, defined the themes, and sketched the story, but the AIs wrote much of the text, with ChatGPT Pro doing the heaviest lifting.”
“But for me, these two are interesting and valuable for what they can teach us about the challenges of coauthorship with AI.”
