This chapter is an excerpt from our longer conversation with Robin Sloan. Robin is a scifi writer, social observer and dedicated AI enthusiast. He’s been bootstrapping his way into some fascinating co-writing experiments with the machine. Shane and Robin dig into Robin’s experiments with using machine learning to write music - and how playing GO against the machine taught the game’s grand masters that there were levels of play they had not even considered. In a conversation that was already really fun and thought-provoking, and illustrates the degree to which human-machine collaboration might really be a one plus one equals five reality.
