Machine-driven texts remixes
Machine-driven texts remixes
This chapter analyzes the process of remixing through the evolution of machine-driven text transformation approaches. It also analyzes the remixes of text's evolving structure since the early experiments in the 1960s, the role of machines in effectively emulating a writer's style and their essential support to generate credible fakes, particularly deepfakes, discussing a series of relevant issues for Digital Humanities. Fakes are usually produced to make a statement about their own content or form. Since the 1950s, early experiments with programming code to generate texts in various forms and styles were mostly centered on a combinatorial approach. And the outputted texts are equally remixed, based on some preexisting work and a varying number of database entries. There is ecology of literary bots online, especially Twitter bots, which are endlessly remixing content from databases or other online sources.

Abstract
This chapter analyzes the process of remixing through the evolution of machine-driven text transformation approaches. It also analyzes the remixes of text's evolving structure since the early experiments in the 1960s, the role of machines in effectively emulating a writer's style and their essential support to generate credible fakes, particularly deepfakes, discussing a series of relevant issues for Digital Humanities. Fakes are usually produced to make a statement about their own content or form. Since the 1950s, early experiments with programming code to generate texts in various forms and styles were mostly centered on a combinatorial approach. And the outputted texts are equally remixed, based on some preexisting work and a varying number of database entries. There is ecology of literary bots online, especially Twitter bots, which are endlessly remixing content from databases or other online sources.
