DEATH OF THE AUTHOR: A SURVEY ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN LITERATURE

Year 2023, Volume: 3 Issue: 2, 142 - 154, 01.05.2023

Abstract

Artificial intelligence technology, which is an important landmark in computer science, is a field of study which focuses on forming smart machines performing tasks that naturally necessitate human intelligence. AI, which models and mimics the human behaviour such as reasoning, learning, and planning as well as the tools humans handle, has been widely used in several fields of expertise such as economy, finance, education, agriculture, and healthcare. Coupled with deep learning, artificial intelligence turns out to be one of the most significant technological advancements of the 21st century as it pioneers the digital transformation of the modern society. As AI is drastically scientific and basically a preoccupation with numbers, literature, which is laden with figures of speech, has been regarded as the one and only branch that it can never master. The latest developments on computational literature indicate the opposite, though. Since the second half of the 20th century, there have been poems and novels written by AI. In this context, the aim of this study is to illustrate how artificial intelligence creates literary works based on the examples created using the online AI software programme – OpenAI. Within this framework, the study concludes that artificial intelligence technology has become prominent also in the literary field and that the death of the author might be sooner than it is actually expected.

YAZARIN ÖLÜMÜ: EDEBİYATTA YAPAY ZEKA ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Year 2023, Volume: 3 Issue: 2, 142 - 154, 01.05.2023

Abstract

Bilgisayar biliminde önemli bir mihenk taşı olan yapay zekâ teknolojisi, insan zekâsı gerektiren görevleri yerine getiren akıllı makinelerin oluşturulmasına odaklanan bir çalışma alanıdır. Akıl yürütme, öğrenme ve planlama gibi insan davranışlarını ve insanların kullandığı araçları modelleyen ve taklit eden yapay zekâ, ekonomi, finans, eğitim, tarım ve sağlık gibi birçok uzmanlık alanında yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Derin öğrenme ile birleştiğinde modern toplumun dijital dönüşümüne öncülük etmesi sebebiyle, yapay zekâ 21. yüzyılın en önemli teknolojik gelişmelerinden biri haline gelmiştir. Yapay zekâ büyük ölçüde bilimsel bir karakterde ve temelde sayılarla meşgul olduğundan, mecazlarla dolu edebiyat, yapay zekânın asla hâkim olamayacağı yegâne alan olarak görülmüştür. Yapay zekâ ve edebiyat arasındaki son gelişmeler ise bu durumun aksine işaret etmektedir, zira 20. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından itibaren yapay zekâ teknolojisi tarafından yazılan çeşitli şiirler ve romanlar bulunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda bu çalışmanın amacı, OpenAI isimli çevrim içi yapay zekâ yazılım programı kullanılarak, üretilen örnekler üzerinden yapay zekânın edebi eserleri nasıl ürettiğini göstermektir. Bu çerçevede çalışma, yapay zekâ teknolojisinin edebiyat alanında da öne çıkmaya başladığı ve yazarın ölümünün tahmin edilenden daha erken olabileceği sonucuna varmaktadır.
