What Happened Before ChatGPT?

Conversations about computer-generated text often omit the long history of work in this area, instead focusing on the launch of ChatGPT in 2022. A panel of editors of and contributors to the anthology “Output: An Anthology of Computer-Generated Text, 1953–2023” will discuss, contextualize, and celebrate milestones in generation systems and software over seven decades. Register to attend.
