MLA Presentation: Cyborg Authors and the Eliza Effect

title slide: "Cyborg Authors and the Eliza Effect"

I’m sharing the slideshow and an audio recording of my talk “Cyborg Authors and the Eliza Effect” which is part of an MLA 2024 panel titled “Generative Text and the Future of Electronic Literature.”

Here’s a link to a recorded version of the talk (on Canva) and the YouTube copy is embedded below.

I hope you find it useful!
