Generative AI and the Future of the Humanities

This book offers scholars in the humanities a way to think critically about generative AI and the impact of technocaptialism on foundational, and essentially human, crafts such as reading and writing. The target audience includes educators and scholars in higher education and K-12, as well as anyone interested in how critical thinking and writing will be taught in the future. For those who only know the term "ChatGPT," this book is a resource for understanding how pervasive and ubiquitous generative AI already is in our lives; for those familiar with OpenAI and other developers, this book provides greater context for the effects of such technology on our creative functionality.
