GPT-OA: Generative Pretrained Treatise - On Architecture

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Emily Pellicano & Carlo Sturken

Technological advancements throughout the industrial era have created more efficient, more economical, and safer machines to aid – and often replace – human operations. Each industrial advancement radically changes social, political, economic, environmental, and even linguistic conditions. Each technological turn has transformed communication between physical and intellectual entities shared by humans. Recent advancements in technological language models have made artificially intelligent machines, specifically Generative Pretrained Transformers (GPT), a potential active participant in the creative process. What does it mean to transfer creative responsibility to artificial intelligence? Is GPT the death of the author or the invention of a new author? This project explores language in machine learning and the role of the author/architect within the creative endeavor of architectural discourse.
