Thinking with AI: Machine Learning the Humanities

The essays in this volume illustrate how AI can be used as a productive metaphor and intellectual tool for the humanities. From formalising concepts like Stimmung and vibe, to challenging traditional distinctions between writing and thought or between history and data, Thinking with AI shows how AI can be not just an object of study but a conceptual catalyst that ignites unexpected connections to long-standing humanistic concerns. With contributions by Peli Grietzer, Leif Weatherby, Mercedes Bunz, Hannes Bajohr, Fabian Offert, Lev Manovich, Babette Babich, Markus Krajewski, Orit Halpern, Christina Vagt, and Audrey Borowski.
